SIX is Sexy! (Unboxed)

[xdan]

I don't think those benchmarks are valid. They aren't at all consistent and don't jive with what can be observed in real-world WinRAR performance. The 965 gaining 4.6% for a 23% clock increase is just silly.

It's not a 23% clock from 3.4 ghz to 3.8ghz, 400Mhz are about 12%
An my mistake i5 750 i7 860/975 are at 4ghz.
And the X6 at about same clock with higher NB and memory scores 800-900( about 30% more) points more with 50% more cores.

lol xdan you are actually comparing a 750 with 1055?? Are you even half serious? First of all in real MT workloads(winrar built-in test is just a BS benchmark) Thuban will not only kill i5 but will probably edge out i7 as well

Will see but think that L3 cache per core is 25% less, and the IMC will bottleneck as usually probably even more 6 core than 4 core. Hopefully Buldozer will have a 2X better IMC.
My estimations are that 1055T will be at middle between i5 750 and i7 860/930 i mean especially in application that make the difference between AMD and Intel like Photoshop, Winrar, video encoding, etc.
There will be some application in wich 1055T will be equal to a 930 or slight better but few.
