Retail Phenom II X6 1055T "TurboCore" preview

[jcmarfilph]

With results like these. I can see Intel i7/i5 price drop soon. ^_^

Time for amd has come here amd should get out Athlon X6 to compete core i5 750 or something like Athlon 630

[vitchilo]

So a i7 over 3.4 GHZ will beat a Phenom X6 at 4.2 ghz eh? Well I'm back to buying an intel rig.

Head over to the AMD section to check out some better benchies.

If you look closer the user disabled 2 cores in order to get to 4.2Ghz ,it's clearly seen in Everest benchmarks... Why do people overreact and jump to conclusions without looking closer?

looks like 4.2ghz i7 is just a hair below 4.2ghz phenom x6

maybe u should be back to buying amd rig might save a few bucks too

thought id post it in here instead of creating a new thread ... New 6-core AMD CPUs overclock to 4GHz on air

From what we've seen in the secret testing labs here in Taipei, that might well be the case. We got the chance to see one of AMD’s upcoming 6-core desktop CPUs being overclocked, and the chip hit a whopping 4 to 4.2GHz with a very good air cooler.

That said, this type of overclocking will be limited to Black Edition models, due to HyperTransport limits. As with the original 65nm Phenoms, these new 6-core CPUs will hit around 230MHz on the HT clock before refusing to go any further - so you'll need to use multiplier overclocking, which requires the unlocked multiplier you get with a Black Edition CPU.

if its already been posted soz guys

6 thread AMD vs 8 thread i7 at same speed and AMD wins (cinebench multithread test) .. nuiiiice .


@alfaunits : you're right , changed

"HyperTransport limits"

what limit.. ? I'm only a where of the HT 2600mhz limit cause instability above that.

chew* said there is a 400mhz wall on AM3

cold scaling is always better with these chips





the chips loves cold and as always with these chips the hit a wall 400mhz on cold for HTT Ocer look at some sempron 140 on Hwbot.

[alfaunits]

@Criminal, That's 8 thread, not 8 core i7.

[Manicdan]

balancing the HT and the NB speeds have been a pain, its possible that one of those was too high which seemed like a 230mhz HTT limit, but was something else with a multi too high.
weve already seen someone hit 240mhz on here without a problem.

Those bit-tech guys have no need to look at Far East,we have guys from there posting retail chip results right here @ XS and there is no wall @ 230Mhz for HTT... Actually here user ridney managed 250Mhz HTT with 1055T(locked,14x multi),stable enough to run Cinebench 10 64bit with Turbo core ON(kicked single thread perf. level to 4.1Ghz!)

hi sorry i didnt know there was guys already testing thuban im a newb

thanks for the link its all very interesting.

Someone is chuffed that a Phenom II X6 1055T sample turned up in their labs.

They were keen to test ASUS's claim that even bottom end boards would work with these CPUs and promptly set up a test bench with their favourite budget AM3 board, M4A78LT-M LE, a great budget AM3 board, just needs OC Profile to be perfect and very popular for unlocking X2 550s.

First POST failed but after a BIOS flash to 602 and the board was able to run the CPU.

The system proved to be LinX 20 stable at stock speeds an overclock was applied using a 243MHz FSB resulting in ~3.4GHz on a BE Stock Cooler. The board under test usually tops out around 260-270MHz so there may be more headroom.

Thuban+890GX+Ln2 = 6.29Ghz validated.

holy voltage!

Oh man this validate killed me!!!

1095t?

[informal]

1095t?

Maybe a glitch in CPUz database? Dunno really.

[blindbox]

holy voltage!

With voltage that high, I suddenly need to see a CPU that runs at 2 volts. Who cares about clocks anymore, pump the voltage!

[FlanK3r]

yes, its CPU-Z wrong name, in real was 1090T
