Six physical cores, Lots of computing power in multithreaded applications, Turbo Core implementation, Compatibility with older chipsets, Low operating temperatures, Overclocking potential
Price somewhat higher than Core i5 750, Not the best choice for hardcore gamers, Slower than i5 750 or Phenom II X4 965 when just few cores are used
To be honest, several weeks ago while testing Phenom II X6 1090T I was really impressed by flexibility in performance and raw power of six cores in multithreaded applications. This time, Phenom II X6 1055T failed to make such strong impressions. Its sl...
Six Core, Turbo CORE Ability, High Overclockability, Phenom Quality, 9MB Total Cache, AM2/3 Compatability,
None,
Now you can see what my definition of a true enthusiast. It's not someone that can buy the best, or flex the biggest e-peen. It's not someone that knows everything about everything and can flame anyone that disagrees with them. It's someone that has th...
Whatever way you look at it, Phenom II X6 1055T is a very interesting solution that is hard to pass. Even a quick look at a processor price list in any store will be enough for you to notice this CPU. There are only three six-core processor models prod...
sI have to say, I have mixed feelings about the new Phenom II X6 processors. On one hand, it’s nice to see AMD step up to a new price range and actually compete (Intel probably holds a permanent position at $1000, but perhaps the $550-600 i7 9xx are an...
Abstract: AMD just opened a new era - affordable sixcore CPUs for everyone. Whereas Intel keeps the overall performance crown (in fact, also stays king of the hill in most individual benchmarks), they also command a hefty price premium. Whereas, when you look at bang for the buck or the fastest cpu in..
AMD have shown real mastery with this Phenom II X6, succeeding where many were expecting failure. Very few commentators would have bet that AMD could bring out a 6-core processor within the same thermal envelope as a 4-core without lowering the clock n...
Abstract: A very smart man once told me that absolute performance doesn’t matter, it’s performance at a given price point that makes a product successful. While AMD hasn’t held the absolute performance crown for several years now, that doesn’t mean the company’...
Abstract: In heavily multi-threaded applications, the two extra cores in the AMD processors really make the difference. In lightly-threaded applications the winner jumps back and forth. However, for the enthusiast..
Abstract: So this is value at its absolute best. But seriously, it's time for AMD to stop following Intel, and start to lead. AMD's processors need some sort of hyper threading embedded and make a move to larger..
The Phenom II X6 is an interesting proposition as it's meant to provide heavy multi-tasking performance on a budget. Starting with the Phenom II X6 1090T, this processor can be matched to the Core i7 930 processor as they are both priced around the $3...
