In any case, bring on the 6-cores and let's see how CS5 likes them. Last edited by Mistral; Apr 20, 2010 at 02:31 PM. Reason: "Expansive" works fine too... |

Not trying to bag on the chip, but isn't mentioning 'The all-new Phenom II X6 processor features 45nm processing technology, a true six-core design which can execute 6 threads simultaneously' kind of pointless. I don't get the point of saying 'true six-core design'. In the old days they were just bashing Intel for being hopeless and making dual-die parts, but now the i7 980X is true six-core as well.
