??? at your sig , you are pairing your PentiumD with Asus Radeon HD5850 ? .Should get something more powerful at lease

any benchmarks? now deciding between i5 750/i7 860 or X6 1035t/X6 1055t
my only concern is power consumption

COre i7 980X has 6 core and 12 virtual threads...but still,the performance of it is very unpromising as softtware used to have a hard time utilizing 4 cores now they wana utilize all 6 cores?

I bet this would be a log way to go until we see a REAL performance boost of having more cores rather than having higher CPU speed

that's why the speed range stays within 2.XX GHz until 3.XX GHz ..coz any stock speed beyond that and they'll have problems with keeping the power consumption down huhu

you can throw to me, dun throw into rubbish bin


im very very satisfied with i7, but ntg makes me more excited than AMD releasing new proc (except the original phenom..).
cant wait for benchie, 2 more weeks to go!!!!
and hopefully the price is right, and i might be able to get 1 6-core, or price drop for p2 955


but 1 think i really hate bout AMD is, their stock fan very lousy my old p2 955, athlon2 620, athlon2 435.. fans very noisy

i nvr know the stock fan is so loud until i go over my fren house whom has 955BE and he complain it is so freaking loud and i advise him to chg the cooler to aftermarket cooler....and i was shock to c the fan spin at 6k rpm (60%) when d pc is at idle.....i wonder what will happen if the fan spin at 100%....

AMD stock fan not good at all ... unlike intel, can oc with stock fan onli

idle oso 6k? tell him he can adjust that in bios, forget wat option tho. my old 955 load oso 6krpm, damn noisy i tell u. i on my pc inside my room, i can hear the fan while standing in living room. then i tot my fan faulty, but when i did some research online, i found out that phenom II fan is generally noisy. hope AMD can improve this..

now my Athlon oc to 3120MHz only max already 59c.. and very noisy already. gonna need to buy a new fan soon.

Added on April 13, 2010, 12:52 pmur xigmatek performance how? and how much? i look for a good cheaper fan, dun wan spend too much on fan for my Athlon

Remember the Athlon II/Phenom II X3 performance? That's why they need at least 3 cores in "Turbo" mode (while keeping within thermal and power limits).

Donate it to me? Anyway, your motherboard can support newer 45nm Core 2 Quad..

Someone got hold of it here: [XS]Just got Phenom II x6 1055T (Retail)...

That's why I've always recommend a 3rd party CPU cooler for Phenom II X4s.

huh? 1055T in the market already? lucky man he is!

According to the benchi done in XS forum, the X6 1055T @ 2.8ghz is about the performance of i7 920 @ 2.667ghz.

According to this benchmark in the spoiler, AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2800mhz have to X8 to win a Core i7 920 @ 3267mhz.

already hexo core
Good news is quad core price will go down soon....

I lol-ed at the result

Another leaked benchies, this time its: Some benchmarks of Thuban X6 1090T (original source: AMD六核1055T處理器1999元到貨 , also has X4 1090T @ 4.2GHz benches as well).

X6 1090T....

X4 1090T @ 4.2GHz...

I am not good reading those benchmark , so what's the ranking for those 2 processor ? compare with i7 and 965BE ?

Random,

So how beneficial issit moving from quad to six core?

maybe for multitasking like converting 10 video files in one shot batch

still no idea abt power consumption? idle/load??

Just compare the results (seems the common one here is Cinebench scores). The Phenom II X6 1055T seems slower than either Core i5 750 and Phenom II X4 965 in Cinebench 32-bit version (you can guess how the lower Phenom II X6 1035T will perform), but takes back the lead in Cinebench R11.5. The Phenom II X6 1090T trade punches with Core i7 930, faster in Cinebench R11.5 and wPrime (reference comparison here) but slower in Cinebench R10 and SuperPi. However its nowhere near any of the higher Core i7 processors. From the pricing already can estimate its performance (though looking at the prices of Phenom II X6 1035T and 1055T does not make much sense yet).

No idea yet.. . Looking at the results, looks like slightly aggressive CnQ implementation here (possibly to keep the processor within thermal and power limits).

Edit: Reason? Compare with this: A Glance into the Future: Six-Core AMD Istanbul in a Desktop Platform (page 9): Rendering..
