One may look at the information we've presented in the preceding pages in two ways. On the product front, the Phenom II X6 processors are unabashedly good news. AMD has managed to create a pair of new processors whose performance and value propositions...
Abstract: With Intel’s Core i7 line of CPUs completely owning the high-end performance CPU space, AMD’s chosen instead to focus on delivering compelling value with their latest processors. More specifically, AMD’s strategy has been to give c...
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..
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..
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...
Intel’s Core i7-980X gave us a six-core processor running at the same speed as its predecessor with a shared L3 cache increase to boot—and all at the same price point. Unfortunately, at $1,000, it’s still hard for most folks to get excited about hexa-c...
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’...
Excellent Performance, Good Overclocking Headroom, Good Power Consumption, Compatible with Current AM2+ and AM3 mobos, Competitive Pricing
Outperformed by Intel Quad-Cores, Lower IPC Per Core Than Intel
First things first. We really like the new AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor. It may not be the undisputed performance champion in light of Intel's excellent offerings, but all things considered, the Phenom II X6 1090T is a heck of processor for under $300...
Abstract: About the worst kept secret around was that AMD was prepping a 6 core CPU called Phenom II X6. Today AMD launches two new 6 core models, the 3.2GHz Phenom II X6 1090T and the 2.8GHz 1055T. Each has a TDP of 125 watts, and each features AMD's new turb...
