Six physical cores
Lots of computing power in multithreaded applications
Turbo Core implementation
Compatibility with older chipsets
Low operating temperatures
Overclocking potential
The editors didn't like
TurboCore (still in its infancy)
Price
Shared L3 cache is the same between fourand sixcore units
Utilizes aging 45nm fabrication process
Outperformed by Intel Quad-Cores
Lower IPC Per Core Than Intel
Iderably less powerful than Intel's high-end CPUs.
Doesn't approach performance of Intel's six-core counterpart
Price somewhat higher than Core i7 860
Not the best choice for hardcore gamers
Massive increase in power consumption and heat output when overclocking
Abstract: Benchmarking 86 CPUs takes a while. After long last, though, we have 51 models from AMD and 35 from Intel tested in our current suite. If you want to know how your processor sizes up to its competition, you'll find plenty of comparison data inside! 86 C...
Abstract: Finally, a moment anticipated by many: test results of Intel's new LGA1155 platform are available. This resembles the situation with LGA1156, because the new processors will be rolled out in several steps. Today we'll get to know the details of quad-co...
Abstract: As you well know, Intel Core i7-900 processors for the LGA1366 socket are not the only Core i7 products in the market. Lynnfield-based solutions for the LGA1156 socket have been selling for over a year now in the mainstream segment, and far better at t...
Abstract: Recently we have begun to publish a series of reviews with the results of a comprehensive test of modern CPUs we did in our test labs. Right now you can read two articles on that topic: CPU Benchmark, Part 1: Value Processors CPU Benchmark, Part 2: Mai...
Abstract: Dealing with current news means that we rarely have the opportunity to review old products and of course a comparison between the most recent products and those that came out several years ago can get a little problematic. But we’ve decided to push th...
Stable performance, Overclockes well, No heat issues
Price
This CPU is sure a step forward when it comes to AMD CPU's the main problem is that Intel is still way ahead of AMD with their faster versions of theCorei5 and i7 cpu's. Looking at todays prices we can see that the Core i7 930 cpu cost about 10$ more ...
Abstract: Unless you've been living in a cave (and, as Jon Stewart would say, by doing that you "made the soundest real-estate investment possible") , you've surely heard of some good ol' AMD CPU's like Athlon, Duron and - Phenom. Well, what we've got here ...

AMD's first-ever six-core desktop CPU beats all of the company's other offerings, but are its advantages strong enough to justify an upgrade? You decide. ...
In terms of performance, the 1090T, as expected falls by the wayside when compared to the Intel 980X CPU. The Core i7-980X is priced at $999, making it in a completely different price class when comparing the two. The Intel CPU also has higher subsyste...
sI have to say, I have mixed feelings about the new Phenom II X6 processors. On one hand, it’s nice to see AMD step up to a new price range and actually compete (Intel probably holds a permanent position at $1000, but perhaps the $550-600 i7 9xx are an...
