AMD Phenom X6 1090T Black Edition & 1055T launch on 4/27

Heck, I think with these Thuban CPUs PhenomII X4 has no reason to exist at all. Same or better clocks, more cores, more or less the same price, turbo...

I find this an interesting comment. These really do look like great chips for the price (if those quoted here hold true after launch), but after reading this comment I'm not sure which sales of the x6 is going to effect the most, Intel's i5/i7 or AMD own PhenomII x4 chips. As noted, for a very similar price you get more of everything, seems to makes the x2's obsolete and may relegate the x3/x4's to the bargin bin...

Or the etailers will just gouge you like mad until they sold off the remaining x4.
