so??

thats the best part of playing with technology.

gonna upgrade my pc later next year.hope can get 6 core rig under 2k.

can anyone tell me why additional core will increase the speed? i tot it only gives additional multitasking headroom?

It will increase performance for programs that can multi-thread.

Hmm, example :
Aim : To find out the relationship between number of adult and the time to taken to complete the moving of bed.
Manipulated : Number of adults
Responding : Time taken to complete the moving of bed.
Constant : The type of adult
Procedure :
the conclusion will be :
The more the adult, the shorter the time taken to complete the moving of bed. (Same with processor here. The more the core, the shorter the time taken for completing a task)

General Concept :
The more the core, the faster it is. (For multi threaded programs)
The higher the clock(GHz), the faster it is. (For single threaded programs)

just hoping the non BE hexa can be oc decently...if its capable of 3.3-3.6ghz...i'm sold for this 'half a dozen core' chips heh!

nice core with low power consumption also,low price also,..with this 6 cores,for sure,no more bottleneck isue for 5850 or 5870 even 5970 in crossfire..nice
selling my 955be,buying this cpu..update my mobo bios(hope my mobo can support this cpu)buying another 5850..wow nice..
but any ram isue with this cpu?i meant,do this cpu need at leat 6 gb of ram to make sure its running smothly(super performance)?

When will this new core will release by AMD?(nvm, read it from d web, mayb around 26 april o Q3) The price is so attractive
i guess its 4 core proc price will go even more lower

good news for us, hope all proc price tag will drop significantly at least for amd... but then again mayb intel will lunch a proc 6 core without ht since they have core i7 980x will b easy for them...

hope this can make quaddie price lower, 955 for RM450 mayb? then it will be the time i use back 955 ><

Wow . Hopefully it does get that low. If it's even lower, I'd be much more happier as I'm waiting to upgrade my rig :/

RM400 for the 955 and I'd be like . Then I might be able to get a new graphics card as well as a new monitor .

if x6 is around 600-700, i guess 955 might fall below RM500..

just dun forget to get a Graphic Card-cum-Cooker ya

when is this proc gonna hit stores in malaysia??

i think best hope is around May. So regret I dint push my old phenom II 955 to 4GHz last time before I sell it.. mayb after this hit malaysia shore and making 955 drop price, I will have my 2nd chance then

Exactly, adding new cores is much better option than adding L3 cache when in comes into multitasking environment. but the down side is our software department is seriously falling behind in multi-threading. There isnt many software that support multi-treading even 2 let alone for 4 -6 cores.

@billytong,

You saying worth getting Athlon X4 than Phenom X2 555 since the price is about similar.

Well if u are doing A LOT of multitasking, multitreading, then the X4 might probably be a better choice.

Seems like one of lyn forumer susunooblike has already put up d price for d hexa core :
PROCESSOR ONLY AVAILABLE WITH THE PRICE AS STATED BELOW WHEN BUNDLE WITH MOTHERBOARD AND RAM::
AMD PEHENOM II X4 / X6 AM3 Processor
Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition 3.20GHz = RM1159 (Coming Soon!)
Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz = RM769 (Coming Soon!)

only 2 hexa core price is available from him atm

oh no... RM769... guess 955 still will be the same price..

i dun think so..tis is d complete amd proc he sell which is 4 more proc is coming soon...

AMD PEHENOM II X4 / X6 AM3 Processor
Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition 3.20GHz = RM1159 (Coming Soon!)
Phenom II X6 1075T = RMXXX (Coming Soon!)
Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz = RM769 (Coming Soon!)
Phenom II X6 1035T 2.8GHz = RMXXX (Coming Soon!)
Phenom II X4 960T 3.30GHz = RMXXX (Coming Soon!)
Phenom II X4 940T 3.00GHz = RMXXX (Coming Soon!)

so i expect these might made the 955 price lower abit hope so..
