As a budget processor, PCSTATS isn't expecting the Athlon II X2 240e processor to be competing with the likes of the Core i7 920 or Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition, but it should at least keep up with the Athlon II X2 250. Unfrotunately a low Video Creation score keeps that from being the case.

Sysmark has some strange bottlenecking issues with AMD CPUs, so the Athlon II X2 240e actually ins't all that much slower than AMD's Phenom II 965 Black Edition in this Windows 7 benchmark.
