AMD's Fastest CPU Yet
Strong Multi-Threaded Performance
Strong Lightly Threaded Performance Thanks to Turbo Core
Excellent price
Performance. Unlocked multiplier for easier overclocking. Works in almost all current AMD motherboards.
With fully threaded apps
Great performance for the price
Six-core speed for about a quarter of the price of Intel's hexa-core chip
Good performance to price ratio
Runs fairly cool
Low power consumption
Unlocked multiplier for easier overclocking
Good pricing for a six-core
Good performance in heavily threaded applications
True 6physicalcore processor
Turbo Core feature autooverclocks to 3.7GHz if 3 or fewer cores in use
Easily overclocks to 4GHz without requiring a highend motherboard
Excellent performance in media transcoding and professional rendering and modelling
Low 125 watt TDP
Works in older AM2 motherboards (with BIOS update)

Can't Touch An Intel 6-Core In Terms of Performance
Small Speed Bump Over 1090T
Limited performance increase over previous top-of-the-line AMD CPU. Outperformed in key areas by similarly-priced Intel chips.
Only a minor speed bump over previous AMD six-core CPU
Intel's high-end processors still significantly speedier
Intel still has a better performance in light threaded application
Cheaper Thuban CPUs are just as fast with a little tweaking
Not as much cache as competitive Intel processors
Cannot support an NVIDIA SLI system with AMD chipset motherboard
Abstract: Today AMD introduces their newest top dog processor, the Phenom II X6 1100T BE. Replacing the 1090T Black Edition as the highest clocked six core processor from AMD, the 1100T runs at 3.3GHz with 3.7GHz Turbo mode. The 1100T also brings a price drop to the top performance slot, and pushes the X6 1090T to a new lower price point as well - yes, AMD is dropping prices on their Thuban architecture processors, with the new pricing shown below (along with two new processors being introduced)...

Abstract: Now that Piledriver-based CPUs and APUs are widely available (and the FX-8350 is selling for less than $200), it's a great time to compare value-oriented chips in our favorite titles. We're also breaking out a test that conveys the latency between frames....
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: As you may know, a while back, we came to some difficult realizations about the validity of our methods for testing PC gaming performance. In my article Inside the second: A new look at game benchmarking, we explained why the widely used frames-per-second...
Abstract: This time we'd like to offer you the summarized test results of as many as 71 processors. This generally marks the end of the year, not the end of another test method's life cycle (like the last time). We believe this summary contains all important pro...
While we don't want to give the impression that the i7-3930K is a slow CPU for consumer applications and games, it isn't significantly faster than the Core i7-2600K. This is a problem for Intel, as the i7-3930K is almost exactly double the price; LGA20...
Abstract: The CPU landscape is really complex. Both AMD and Intel offer tons of different models. But how would today’s processors perform if they didn't ......

Abstract: Things were going quite well for Phenom II, for a while. The debacle of the original Phenom launch left a sour taste, but the general quality, speed, price, and efficiency of their replacements more than made up for it. Phenom II chips were priced to comp...
Abstract: After the X-Mas rush AMD was keen to introduce a few new CPUs. The flagship Phenom II X6 is now clocked at 3.3GHz, Turbo goes up to 3.7GHz, and it still has 64kB of L1 cache per dice for data and instructions, 512kB L2 cache per dice and 6MB shared 3rd...
