That's great news. Should hit the $199 expected retail price here in the States.

[vitchilo]

Yean Singapore and Indonesia... how much would it cost for shipping to send it to northern america? 100$ shipping?

If I can have it for free shipping or 10$ shipping I'm gonna order it right now...

A few things stand out : Turbo works great even though Winblows OS tosses the threads around;Turbo is still there even if you manually OC the 1055T via HTT(look in AMD section for TriCore 4.2Ghz/6C 3.5Ghz test results on air);OCing via HTT on 1055T is quite easy with solid air cooling,4+Ghz can be achieved with lower vcore than on Deneb C3;x264 2nd pass rocks on Thuban

edit: Thanks to user Cezar who posted in AMD section ,we now have a report from OCworkbench that Zosma is unlockable to X6 .

most of the time people in South East Asia buying from USA/UK or Europe
I don't think you could find online store that ships to USA
the bare chip itself is SGD $308(~USD $220)

Thanks

The power fig's looks very interesting



Waiting for a 1090T to pop up ... Overall i am a bit surprised as to how it was defeated by the i7 920 in some tests. I know if HT is off the 1055T would win but still.

Oh and before people start pointing out the game results let me remind you all that x4 965 is 3.4Ghz and the 1055T is 3.3Ghz when turbo kicks in. So the difference in games maybe due to the 100mhz difference or maybe because turbo did not kick in at all and that means all cores are at 2.8Ghz.

no hotlinking..

And yes power figures look nice, wonder how much more the 1090 needs, shouldn't be that much more.

it is kinda scary that your limited to either 3x3.3ghz or 4x2.8ghz, so if the games are quad optimized, you will have a 2.8ghz quad, which will not be very fun compared to what you can get for much cheaper. but on the upside, if you plan to OC, these will do the same or better than the old C3s, so theres no worries in that regard. and chances are that quad optimized games probably run great anyway, lol. and its all about future proofing, which 6 cores will do quite nicely.

i just cant wait to hear the flaming how the 1090T is gonna be worse than the PII 965 in some situations.

Exactly and with unlocked multi it would need less watts to OC also. I just dont know what to do upgrading to 1090T will cost more than i want and i will have to save again for Bulldozer or Sandy Bridge.

This is why i was thinking of getting a 1035T and OC the chepo on my old AM2+ mobo till BD and SB come to market.

Games which are quad optimized will use only 4 cores out of the 6 but chances are that the very less games that are specially optimized for quads only.

1090T is slower than 965 in all cores stand "3.2Ghz vs 3.4Ghz" quad optimized app's would win with 965 instead of 1090T.

From what we have seen in the AMD section turbo is very flexible with manual overclocking and i for one would not mind a 4Ghz cpu that can do 4.5ghz on turbo "That is exactly what the result is in AMD section"

i think we agreed on everything, lol.

Why aren't these Phenom III?

[Vozer]

That's reserved for Bulldozer.

If Bulldozer lives up to AMD's promise, the name Phenom will take a sweet revenge on Intel's Core. (Sandy Bridge's going to be another Core.) Isn't it nice?

Never fear, just get an Asus board.

Bulldozer cant be Phenom, its bullsh*t. Phenoms are K10 (K10.5) architecture, but Bulldozer architecture isnt nothing simillary. Its total new architecture.

It's funny how ASUS' marketing department is competeing with AMD's own Tirbo CORE tech,they even made those pretty slides . I must admit they did a good job though,those Unlocker capable boards are going to be some 5-8% faster than any other board,even with Thubans (Phenoms II will def. be faster in it).

I am just wondering if this would work on top of AMD Turbo. I mean 500mhz max is what AMD Turbo offers us and its the same for ASUS Turbo

The 200mhz+ on all core is really nice tough i do not like it i feels it cheating. If your cpu does not do run at the stock speed when loaded in any situation is just not fair.

It's just a trademark, really. Athlon and Athlon II are different architectures, too, the same as Intel Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III and Pentium 4, aren't they?
