Calculation result
Bottleneck percentage
When configuring a high-performance computing setup, it's imperative to ensure that each hardware component is well-matched with its counterparts to provide seamless and optimal system performance. In the case of the AMD Athlon II X2 255 and AMD Radeon Vega 6 in the Processor Intense Tasks with 1600 × 900 and 1 monitor, it appears that hardware compatibility has been achieved superbly, as evidenced by the calculated bottleneck percentage of 0%.
![Gauge that shows 0% of bottleneck](https://images.pc-builds.com/chart/gauge/bottleneck-gauge-0-percent.png)
To elaborate, a bottleneck occurs when one component restricts the maximum efficiency of another, leading to suboptimal performance and reduced system effectiveness. However, in this configuration, that is not a concern. Any bottleneck percentage below 5% is generally deemed insignificant, and our current bottleneck value sits at 0%, which means you can expect superior system performance.
Processor and graphic card utilizations
In a computing setup featuring the AMD Athlon II X2 255 and AMD Radeon Vega 6, under the context of Processor Intense Tasks with a screen resolution of 1600 × 900 and 1 monitor, the processor is expected to have an utilization rate of 82.8%, while the graphics card is projected to be utilized at 78.4%.
It's crucial to understand that these figures signify theoretical maximums based on typical CPU-to-GPU workload distribution ratios for certain tasks or gaming experiences. Achieving these high levels of utilization in real-world settings can be a challenging endeavor.

Heatmap of bottleneck
The heatmap serves as a graphical representation to further confirm the compatibility between the AMD Athlon II X2 255 and AMD Radeon Vega 6. On this heatmap, the x-axis corresponds to the CPU Score, and the y-axis corresponds to the GPU Score. In a perfectly balanced system such as this, the intersection point of the AMD Athlon II X2 255 and AMD Radeon Vega 6 will fall within the "no bottleneck zone."
The "no bottleneck zone" is an area on the heatmap where the hardware components are not only compatible but are also optimally matched to provide peak system performance. When the intersection of the CPU and GPU scores resides in this zone, it is a strong indicator that the system is balanced and will deliver excellent performance for Processor Intense Tasks. The presence of both the AMD Athlon II X2 255 and AMD Radeon Vega 6 in this zone confirms that neither component will hinder the performance of the other, leading to a seamless and highly efficient computing experience.
