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 i7 860, Not the best choice for hardcore gamers, Massive increase in power consumption and heat output when overclocking
Without any doubt, Phenom II X6 1090T is the best thing AMD can offer based on their current K10.5 architecture. It is my belief that it will be very hard to squeeze even more out of it before the new Bulldozer architecture comes out. Six phsical cores...
Abstract: Phenom II Plus 2 The Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition is just the latest chip to spring from AMD’s K10 architecture. Like with Intel’s foray into six-core processors, there’s not much architecturally new here. AMD stuck with its 45nm SOI (silicon-on-ins...
First of all it’s important to acknowledge the fact that the Thuban overclocking results in this article are preliminary and possibly not conform what you will reach at home, be it either in a positive or a negative sense. From the Deneb C3 launch we h...
Ever since Intel launched their Core i7 (and later Core i5) CPUs, AMD have been left needing to compete on pricing and the like rather than outright performance - Hardly an unsurprising state of affairs given Intel's traditional dominance of top-notch...
1090T and 1055T are the first real hexa-cores which is in reach of 99% enthusiasts, since Intel’s 980X retails for around 1000$(more than Rs. 55000 in Indian retail market), though if you are looking at purely performance numbers then I am sure 980X ha...
AMDThe big question about the Phenom II X6 is relevance - where does it make sense? With current Phenom II's topping out at 3.4GHz, the Phenom II X6 doesn't seem to move the game on significantly - at least at first glance. 50% more cores, similar clo...
AMD has really done it again. They’ve brought us the best mix of features and performance and provided them to us at the best possible price. Never would I ever had thought that we could get to a 6-core CPU for $209.99 US (for the 1055T). The 1090T i...
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...
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: 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..
