Not an unlocked CPU (you can't overclock by changing the clock multiplier)
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: 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..
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...
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’...
Abstract: One of the most impressive areas of the Phenom II X6 is the thermal performance of the processor. AMD has kept the TDP at 125W on these six-core processors and the thermals are impressive. With our XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 CPU cooler we were seeing 24C idle temperatures..
I believe no one will deny that Stars (K10.5) microarchitecture used in contemporary AMD processors has become pretty obsolete and is inferior to Nehalem microarchitecture in many aspects. However, it doesn’t mean that AMD can’t roll out up-to-date sol...
Performance wise we were hoping to see a little more out of the new AMD Phenom II X6 processors. Although the Core i7 980 XE already proved that most applications and games are not ready for six dedicated cores, it was still for the most part faster th...
