You need to know how to overclock to get the best out of this chip really.
To preface this page, I'd like to reiterate the fact that due to complications with our motherboard, we were unable to perform power consumption tests, or push the CPU higher with overclocking. We're still investigating the reasons for various issues ...
Abstract: Not so long after Intel presented their new six-core model Core i7 980GX, taking the throne of the currently fastest desktop CPU, AMD presented us with their own solution - Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition. In parallel with the unveiling of this CPU, c...
Without a doubt, AMD Phenom II X6 1090T performs adequately to its price and will be in demand. Positioning on a par with Intel Core i7-930 is completely justified. However, judging by specifications, we believe this CPU can demonstrate better results...
AMD's Phenom II X6 is a fantastic chip, both at stock and overclocked speeds. Its overclockability now settles into Intel’s Core i7 territory, previously unattainable until now. Needless to say, Thuban completely flies ahead of its Deneb-based little ...

When we first heard about Istanbul early 2009, I was expecting to see AMD release a 6 core desktop processor in November of last year. This was obviously not the case. AMD did not feel that the Istanbul design was ready for that kind of prime time...
No, the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T is not to be the fastest desktop processor money can buy. That title still belongs to the Intel Core i7-980X, but then again this Extreme processor also carries an equally extreme price tag. What the latest silicon from A...
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...
