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.

you mean earlier batch can oc higher?
i'm tempted to get one to replace my 2 years old e2140.

why its so hard to find PII X6 review? i try to find the review but seem all not concrete.

when is the date of official release?
i too tired of waiting..

great news AMD is really pushing hard, what i dun understand is that when 3 cores is idle, 3 cores get boosted up. Whats the reason just say if im nt stressing the chip and 3 cores is boosted isnt it a waste of energy. I dun really understand the reason behind this technology.

ppl treat OC as hobby

For me, I will OC to increase the performance

Me doing encoding and etc etc

wow~ a bit disappointing...... still way to go AMD!!!!

based on the reviews, it's not quite up to my expectations though..
but still might consider this as an option for my next upgrade. still indeed proc with a good price/performance ratio

expected it to perform better against the core i5/i7. but then again as i said, it's still a good proc.

Stock heatsink is copper base with 4 heat-pipes. Top down fan.

X6 HSF...is it look same with X4 HSF?

agreed on that. The fabrication technology matters a lot in performance headroom as well as for energy consumption and heat dissipation.
Nonetheless, The X6 is still a very good competitor in terms of performance over price!

Yea lol..Intel shud outcome this stock cooler with better build. Not just packed as bundling products to bigger the box..
