You need to know how to overclock to get the best out of this chip really.
AMD's fastest processor yet. Turbo CORE technology introduces automatic overclocking. Less expensive than Intel's top-tier CPU.
iderably less powerful than Intel's high-end CPUs.
Loaded with six processing cores, the 3.2-GHz Phenom II X6 1090T is the most powerful consumer processor AMD has ever released, and it's compellingly priced (at just $285). But if you want top-level speed, you'll have to shell out more for an Intel ch...
Six physical processor cores, Introduces AMD Turbo CORE technology, Excellent priceperformance ratio, Overlocks to 4.0GHz with 4.3GHz Turbo CORE, Maintains AMD socket AM3 compatability, Outstanding media transcoding or file compression performance, Dominates professional engineering and design tasks, Unlocked clock speed multiplier, Maintains 125W TDP,
Shared L3 cache is the same between fourand sixcore units, Utilizes aging 45nm fabrication process
Although the rating and final score mentioned in this conclusion are made to be as objective as possible, please be advised that every author perceives these factors differently at various points in time. While we each do our best to ensure that all a...
AMD has a new flagship and it is very impressive to say the least. The Turbo CORE Technology which is built into the processor to monitor the workload and autonomously adjust the processors core speeds of three cores that are under load to a higher c...
Abstract: One of the most impressive areas of the Phenom II X6 is the thermal performance of the processor. AMD has kept the TDP at 125W on these six-core processors and the thermals are impressive. With our XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 CPU cooler we were seeing 24C idle temperatures..
The new Phenom II X6 1090T isn’t faster than Core i7 CPUs from Intel. In fact, it doesn’t compete with Core i7, as we are talking about a complete different price range. Therefore on the very high-end CPU market Intel is still the only game in town.How...
I believe no one will deny that Stars (K10.5) microarchitecture used in contemporary AMD processors has become pretty obsolete and is inferior to Nehalem microarchitecture in many aspects. However, it doesn’t mean that AMD can’t roll out up-to-date sol...
Performance wise we were hoping to see a little more out of the new AMD Phenom II X6 processors. Although the Core i7 980 XE already proved that most applications and games are not ready for six dedicated cores, it was still for the most part faster th...
Six Core Performance, TurboCore Technology, Optimized 890FX Chipset, Less Expensive than its Competitor, Improved Performance over the Dragon Platform, Reverse Compatible with AM2/AM3,
TurboCore (still in its infancy),
When choosing AMD Phenom II or AMD Athlon II processors, you may not obtain bone crushing performance benchmarks that you may expect from its competitor. What you will receive is a versatile, reverse compatible processor that is inexpensive and more th...
Stunning performance for the price, Dynamic clock helps speed performance in programs that use just one core
Doesn't approach performance of Intel's six-core counterpart
This six-core CPU doesn’t match Intel’s Core i7-980X for raw speed, but at less than a third of the price, it’s a stellar choice for content creators on a budget. ...
Six processing cores, Turbo Core technology, Under $300, Part of new "Leo Platform", HyperTransport 3.0, Pricing...
Slower then the Intel 980X when compared core for core...
The performance of the new AMD Phenom II X6 1090T needs to be looked at not only in raw numbers but as a whole product. While clock for clock, speed for speed, the Intel i7 980X brings the 1090T to its knees, but if you factor in the costs of each one...
