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...
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...
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’...
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 ...

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...
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...
