[XS]Just got Phenom II x6 1055T (Retail)

It's actually the other way around.

Some impressive numbers indeed. I still think low end bloomfield aka i7 930 would edge it out though. I'm on the fence about building a dedicated media encoding rig and it's between the x6 or the i7 930. It'll all boil down to whichever of these is $200 or lower and how well it competes against the bloomfield. I have a Microcenter near me so I'll be factoring in the fact that I could pick up a i7 930 for $199.99.

The price of an x58 board + i7 930 vs. the price of a 890 board + X6 will probably favor AMD.

That all depends on your Intel board choice though.

I'm definitely picking up a 1090T and 4gb kit of hypers.
