AMD's fastest processor yet. Turbo CORE technology introduces automatic overclocking. Less expensive than Intel's top-tier CPU.
Stunning performance for the price
Dynamic clock helps speed performance in programs that use just one core
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: 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’...

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...

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...

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...
