AMD Phenom II X6 Processors Start Shipping

Holy crap! That's so awesome! I want one so bad! Intel better watch out!
 
Anybody know when the UK will be getting stock? I'm order from within the EU, but it's not like it'll kill me to wait.
Wanting to set up a workstation/server/cruncher though, and would do very naughty things to get an X6 into my build.
 
Wow, cool beans. Damn I want one. Cant wait for the review W1zz. I do want the new Asus ROG Extreme Board and this proc with the GSkill Fire ram.
 
Nice, Tax return + Nerd = Hexacore
 
1.488v for only 4.1ghz that is way to much vcore mine can do 4.0 at stock vcore 1.25v and 4.4ghz at 1.45v on water

And i am close to sub 4sek Wprime 32 on ln2
 
extreme pc has the rog board and the 1090 in stock, too bad i only order from the egg cause they ship to apo's oh well, i guess i shall wait
 
Looks like I will be buying my 1055T tomorrow morning local, can't resist.
 
would love to see some benches in games like GTA4/arma2 with the 1090 against the 955 both at 3.2 and the 1090 without turbo mode to get an idea how much of a difference 6 cores make.
 
you should get your stocks in the Philippines. its out since like the 23rd or so
:toast:

Makes sense. Aren't these things packaged in Malaysia?

So according to Futuremark a X6 clocked over 4ghz scores half as much as a 980X at 3.5ghz? :confused:

Futuremark is full of suck and fail.
 
Cant wait to see W1zz's review. :rockout:
@Marineborn..... love the system specs. "Lots of animals were harmed in the making of this system", should be in your sig. :laugh:
 
This sucks they still have not updated my bios for the 1090T yet.
 
What do you mean no point?

Holy shit, thats awesome, I so want one of these but to be honest theres really no point, oh well.:toast:

Ghostbusters supports 6 threads. ;)
 
No official support for MSI K9A2 Platinum either

same, it seems us DDR2 board owners are being left behind

Although when I first installed my Phenom II 920 it said unknown processor until a BIOS update yet functioned the same. Is it possible they can still function???

quite possible yes.

But i'm confident turbo mode wont work, at least (unless thats software controlled?)
 
Surprise, surprise

The Dirt 2 test had the stock AMD Phenom II X6 1090T beating our 4GHz i7 930 system, despite giving up 800MHz in processing power, having dual rather than tri-channel RAM, and being priced at a similar level.

thats really interesting, is it faster than a normal phenom II somehow, or is it just these games are liking the extra cores?
