Performance is still low as compared with intel core i7 980X
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 ...
Abstract: In heavily multi-threaded applications, the two extra cores in the AMD processors really make the difference. In lightly-threaded applications the winner jumps back and forth. However, for the enthusiast..
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..
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...

One may look at the information we've presented in the preceding pages in two ways. On the product front, the Phenom II X6 processors are unabashedly good news. AMD has managed to create a pair of new processors whose performance and value propositions...
Abstract: With Intel’s Core i7 line of CPUs completely owning the high-end performance CPU space, AMD’s chosen instead to focus on delivering compelling value with their latest processors. More specifically, AMD’s strategy has been to give c...
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...
