I've made a bench on Win 7 64bit (with 32bit cinebench.exe):





Cinebench

Thuban: 12642
Deneb: 9023

(approx. +40%)

Vantage CPU (perf.)

Thuban: 14533
Deneb: 9570

(approx. +50%)

These had to be the most predictable benchmarks in history

Can someone please run Superpi on this to see if there's a (very slight) performance hit for the added cores?

[Mechromancer]

I am tempted to buy a 1090T on day one now, but I know I should wait for chips manufactured at a later date. Heck, anything is better than my PII 940 now LOL.

The synthethic benchmarks aren't very impressive, they are what are expected. Basically, you got 50% more Cores, and have 50% more performance in applications that scales well with as many Threads you can add. The only thing that remains to be seen is the impact of still use 6 MB Cache L3 instead of 9 as you have less Cache L3 per Core should you be using all six on Full Load.
Overclocking results should also be interesing as with 50% more Cores, you are also going to consume 50% more power at same Voltage and Frequency. This means that you are seriously going to push the Motherboard and Power Supply.

whats with the corespeed?

The fact that it's still use 6 MB Cache L3 is not a big deal on desktop. Just take a look at the Phenom II X4 8xx which uses 4MB L3. Actually you can only see max. 1-2% performance drop in the worst cases.

Phenom X4 - 0.5MB L3 / core
Phenom II X4 800 - 1MB L3 / core
Phenom II X4 900 - 1.5MB L3 / core
Phenom II X6 1000 - 1MB L3 / core

whats with the corespeed?

What kind of corespeed? It's 2.8 as you can see on the CPU-Z shot.

the cache doesn't need to be any bigger. it's only help marginally in gaming.

we just OC (NB/L3) anyways leading to much higher performance lol

people always tend think phenom II is cache hungry when it is not at all.

the 798.2

[Don_Corleone]

Waiting for them
Overclocking this 6-cores under ln2 should have more fun

[PatRaceTin]

Black Only haha

the 798.2

Cool 'n Quiet

Cool N Quiet

[Glow9]

ahhhhh Thx guys. Makes sense now.

[i found nemo]

u know u o/c too much when u dunno what cnq is haha

[crazydiamond]

thanks for the compare Oliverda

[richierich]

Can't wait to see overclocked 6 core results.

[Glow9]

u know u o/c too much when u dunno what cnq is haha

I've always disabled it, especially when I had my first 650i it kinda made OCing flakey so I just scrapped it. Is it better now?

and what is with the "turbo-mode"?

only if u mess with k10stat but that's still alot of messin' around. personally i never use it.

[crazydiamond]

and what is with the "turbo-mode"?

turbo mode is for single threaded apps where it will (on the 1055t) overclock 1 core 500mhz to 3.3ghz instead of stock 2.8ghz ...

[Chri$ch]

are you sure? if yes its a "turbo-flop"!

[Oliverda]

Maybe it will be applicable for the dual-threaded applications as well. There are many dual-threaded applications.

true after i wrote it i realized it could have been worded much better to still get the concept across lol

[AlleyViper]

I wonder if the extra turbo multiplier will be available to use under some MB workaround...
