wth!!!!
AMD Phenom X6 1055T for RM695
its bloody cheap...

i'm looking forward to the upcoming price war!

X6 looks promising but I doubt it could keep up for the high end competition. Same architecture.

see how far the turbo boost on Phenom II X6 can go..

if single threaded app, then i guess is between AMD's turbo vs 965 clock speed. but i think with 3.4GHz stock clock, 965 still will win..

Hoping phenom x6 will be ca fight with i7 series.

AMD Announces Turbo Core

http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,2845,2362398,00.asp

The Phenom ll x6 will do well against those i5 and i7.

how is the electricity consumption if compared with CoreI7 ?

phenom ii x6 is reminiscence of Ahtlon X2 6400 i would say; hot and power hungry and doesnt perform much better. not worth of an upgrade unless u have a compatible motherboard with an old single core/athlon x2.

Most prolly can match the performance of i7 920.

eyeing on this CPU for a new setup, hopefully getting the BE version, running many virtual machines in one shot

wow, phenom x6 only can fight with i7 920... 6 core vs 4 core...

i hoping this thurban 6 core can fight 980X.... both also 6 core physical but 980X with 12 thread... again...

all that from an unreleased processor

wow

Thats why you have to look the price point

Be it AMD have 24 Cores while Intel 6 Cores but if the price are much cheaper than 6 Cores yet faster,who cares?
Just like 2 GPU VS 1 GPU
Price/performance that matters..

Intel has just one very high end 6 core processor out and the others are yet to be seen. Unlike AMD releasing quite some number of 6 cores and Quad cores priced below 300 USD.

I mean 999 USD ?? I'll buy the high end Pll x6 (299 USD) and have 450 USD for GC (HD5870) and still have money left to get some beer

Intel obviously will beat the hell out of Pll x6 but then again for the ridiculous price tag it's not worth the buck. Especially for gamers hack even for normal users, unless you are filthy rich or you are building a workstation.

I personally think better upgrade to the quad cores with the turbo cores that are coming around this May together with the Pll x6.

And wait out for the bulldozer cores to come in 2011. Then we will see NVIDIA and AMD leads the technology market while INTEL trying to catch up with workstation products like 980X.

Let's see if this Phenom II X6 can match the power of Ci7 920.

Well, judging from certain benchmark of 965 BE at 3.8ghz and 3.4ghz, Phenom II has to be about x7~x10 to match out i7 920.

After 6 pages,
any comparisons ?



everytime i never excite about new proc from AMD,
gah.... the result... expected wan....

These are even better: AMD Opteron 2435 CPU Review and A Glance into the Future: Six-Core AMD Istanbul in a Desktop Platform. From the results there, its not hard to see why AMD need to add the "Turbo" function.

^ hell a lot of difference

The TDP is very good eventhough you are having six cores to play around. The performance really slow ar? a way behind X4. Why they wanna release a processor which is slower than current version? plus its DDR2 huhu. if AMD release DDR3, I think the RAM price will be cheaper.
