Welcome back AMD, we've missed you. With the launch of the Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition a few months ago, AMD signalled a revival of its CPU business. The 1090T is based on Thuban, a new six-core chip and easily the best processor design from AMD in y...
Awesome multi-threading for the money, Surprisingly good overclocking headroom...
Not the best gaming chip ever made, The 1055T is better value...

For this review I will be looking at a product from a company that needs no real introduction as anyone who has used a PC for any length of time has probably used one of their products. The company is AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) and I will be looking...
Overclocks well, Performance per (pound/dollar/euro), X6 cores that won’t break the bank, Unlocked multiplier, Runs pretty cool (on both air and water)...
You need to know how to overclock to get the best out of this chip really.
After spending some time with this CPU I have to say I am impressed again by another AMD Black Edition product, the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition 3.2 gives out great performance for the price and with some in reserve too. Ok so the chip does not...

AMD has updated its Phenom II CPU range with two models that sport six cores and has added Turbo CORE. Although these CPUs are much cheaper than Intel's Core i7 980X they're still irrelevant to the man in the street so, yes, they are affordable but no...

At $1,000, it’s simply not possible to use the word value when talking about Intel’s Core i7-980X. Yes, it’s nice that the company is serving up an extra two cores at the same premium price point. And yes, we’re glad to see Intel extending the life of...

If ever there was a duet consisting solely of fiddles, AMD would be the musician to play last. It's not that AMD isn't good at fiddling, but simply that until now, its performances haven't quite caused anyone to buckle at the knees, bouncing along on t...

There are very few hexa-core processors in the wild. Intel has one, in the form of its expensive enthusiast ‘Gulftown' Core i7-980X Extreme Edition. AMD uses two hexa-core dies in its latest generation of Opteron server processors, and has become the f...

Recently we saw the first desktop six-core processor reviewed here at OCC, the Intel Core i7 980X and the power that the hex-core's bring to the table. Today we are looking at AMD's offering to the six-core market, the Phenom II X6 1090T processor. Th...

The performance of the new AMD Phenom II X6 1090T needs to be looked at not only in raw numbers but as a whole product. While clock for clock, speed for speed, the Intel i7 980X brings the 1090T to its knees, but if you factor in the costs of each one...

Again, we can only repeat that these new Thuban chips will absolutely appeal to those who take their multi-threading performance serious, those who don't have an unlimited budget, or those who do not want to upgrade...
Frankly, AMD have done an ACE job with these new processors. The results really do speak for themselves. In applications that utilize more than four threads, the new Phenom II X6 is generally a phenomenal performer, leaving the Phenom II X4's in the du...

So, AMD has been having some difficulty in keeping up with Intel and their current generation of CPU. This is not to say that AMD does not have fast CPUs, it is just that they have only been as fast as Intel’s last generation (unless you overclock...
AMD has positioned itself as the price/performance leader. They have inexpensive components positioned at almost every level. This should be pushing them into people’s systems, but for any of you that were around in the K6-II and K6-III days, you’l...
