AMD Phenom II X6 1055T & 1090T Reviews

[OhNoes!]

Actually looking back and sobering up after looking at reviews. Intel really doesn't need to do a thing. Sure multithreaded performance is good on this chip and better than intel offerings at times, but for most people these instances don't pop up enough and Intel more often than not is the better choice because these highly specialized multithreaded scenarios just don't pop up enough.

Thuban really reminds me of Fermi in alot of ways, late compared to the competition, faster at times, but generally not worth the wait or hype.

Intel needs to add 2 more cores to their quads and slap on 50% more on what their currently charging, just like AMD. At least I can dream, right? They have 8 cores on 45nm at 130W, so 6 cores with a clock bump should keep them under that power envelope. Yes, I know it won't happen, and it sucks. Oh well, someone has to pay for R&D at 32nm and so forth.

With triple channel already in place, they have all the mem bandwidth there already.
