AMD Silently Deems Phenom II X6 1075T a Black Edition Part, Starts Listing in Europe

AMD has expanded its Phenom II X6 market lineup with the Phenom II X6 1075T Black Edition model (model number: HDT75ZFBGRBOX), which has started hitting stores in Europe for as low as 227.35 EUR. Although the 1075T model has stayed in leaks and BIOS support lists ever since the series first surfaced, it is only now that we get to know that it's a Black Edition part. The chip carries a clock speed of 3.00 GHz, and with its unlocked BClk multiplier, helps with overclocking the chip. AMD already has a higher-priced, higher-clocked model, the 3.20 GHz Phenom II X6 1090T, and there's no indication that 1090T will be displaced from its current price point of ~250 EUR.

Based on the 45 nm "Thuban" die, the Phenom II X6 1075T features six cores, with a nominal speed of 3.00 GHz, that can increase by up to 400 MHz with load thanks to the TurboCore feature, the cores have dedicated L2 caches of 512 KB, and share an L3 cache of 6 MB. The chip comes in the AM3 package, and is backwards compatible with AM2+ socket, it supports both DDR3-1333 MHz and DDR2-1066 memory types, with room for higher frequencies. It has a TDP rated at 125W.

I've got a feeling that AMD released the higher binned chips as 1090T to impress the reviewers early (and generate sales), and then dump the lower grade chips silently as 1075T.

Think about it every model of the phenom 2 from the 965 quad down to the 545 dual core (maybe lower as i dont know their full product range) are all the exact same die and come from the same wafers and then depending how good each chip is then puts it in the right product range.

If amd are lucky it may take a little while to build up good numbers of lowered binned chips (according to amd and GF they have great yeilds) to the point where they can release the other ranges but either way its a very cost effective way of producing a full range from a single chip type and its only logical to try and bring out some of the best to start with to gain some buzz and some good benchmarks.... it worked on me lol

twilythMaybe that's true, but does everyone have the skill to get a 1055t to 4ghz. I'm pretty sure that I don't and if we're talking a difference of $50 or so, I would want to spend that to start out at 3.2 rather than 3.0. Just sayin'.
lol, the 1055t is so easy to clock it's unreal. I been running my 1055 at 3.9ghz on the stock AMD fan that came with it, been running the comp 24/7 like that since the first day I got the processor (I got it right at release). The difference is about $100 in the US, and the savings is so worth it, I am running 3.9ghz at 1.420v, I've even cracked it to 4.2ghz on the stock fan, made it into windows, but it crashed as soon as I tried opening the internet.
