btarunrThere are rumors surfacing that these chips have a "TurboCore" feature that bumps multipler by 2 (units). The 1090T has a TurboCore speed of 3.60 GHz, and 1055T at 3.30 GHz. It works just like Intel's Turbo Boost.

v12dock"The 1055T goes for US $199." :respect:

bpgt64Time to start shopping for a new AMD board/RAM combo...

bpgt64It'd be good for crunching, but thats about it..

assaulter_99Me too. Something tells me I'm gonna match this with a Crosshair formula IV :rockout: That is, if they fit in my budget! :laugh:

Musselsvideo encoding as well.


I do a fair amount of encoding (rip blu ray movies into formats the PS3/360 can handle here and stuck em on a NAS) - and as i said before, with teh ability to clock down/disable some cores and clock up others, we're effectively getting the ability to turn say, a 3GHz 6 core into a 3.6GHz quad core, or a 4GHz dual core to suit whatever we're doing at the time.

Sure it'll take tweaking and testing to tune in for each CPU, but we're geeks - its what we do.

TheMailMan78And Photoshop. Anyone want to buy my 955? Ill give ya good deal :D

R_1+1
AMD = The People's Company .

jmcslobI just read an article about Intel's six core 980x or whatever it is and they basically said there is simply nothing to be gained with the Hyper threading with a 6 core cpu except for the bragging rights of having 12 threads.

I'm not a Fanboi of AMD by no means nor am i someone who wants to pay $ for gimmicks

I really can't see the point of having more than 4 cores either But I still want a 6 core so I guess i do pay 4 for gimmicks LOL

Wile ENonsense. They only want your money like all the other major companies out there. People need to get it out of their heads that AMD is doing things just to benefit "the people".



Hyperthreading has shown around a 20% per clock improvement in encoding vs hyper threading off. Makes a huge difference in BD rips, especially when your chosen settings already make a 2 hour movie take 12 hours or more to encode on an OCed quad.

erockerNow we need some solid information on the 890FX chipset. Of course it will have USB 3.0 and Sata III, but what else? I just want to see if I'll actually benefit with going from a 790FX to a 890FX because my current board already accepts these newer chips.

Mussels6 cores vs 4 cores w/ 8 threads - 20% vs 50% ;)

R_1Well, most of the people can afford a 6 core AMD CPU for US $199. Also there is a Black Edition part with unlock multiplier for $295. Tell me what is the price of Intel new EE i7? Last time I checked in my region, Core i7 980X was listed at €999 (1 350$). A simple math check shows that Core i7 980X is 4.57 times more expensive than Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition. So, AMD may be "The people's company" after all.

Musselsintel have the performance lead, so they're milking it while they can.

AMD would do it too, if they had the crown.

R_1What performance lead? 4 or 5 times (400-500%) above what AMD is offering to justify the price difference?
