AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Pro Reviews

extremeoverclocking‘s review Edit Like Unlike

In heavily multi-threaded applications, the two extra cores in the AMD processors really make the difference. In lightly-threaded applications the winner jumps back and forth. However, for the enthusiast / tweaker, just knowing that you can adjust Turbo CORE settings to your liking I think gives AMD the slight edge. Games today really have become so video card dependent, whatever CPU power is required often plateaus around 3 cores or so.

A better deal than the faster 1090T, and a reasonable choice for those upgrading, but Intel quad-core chips are both quicker and cheaper.

Balancing pure performance, power-draw, and price in an enviable manner, the 1055T 95W becomes our favourite 'high-end' CPU, and we urge AMD to make it more widely available in the channel.

The Phenom II X6 1055T was faster when testing with HandBrake, delivered the same level of performance in the x264 benchmark, and was considerably slower when testing with TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress. Then when looking at application and gaming performance, more often than not the Core i5 750 was considerably faster when compared to the Phenom II X6 1055T.

If you are looking to build a new system or upgrade an existing system, the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor should be a serious contender on your short list! It offers top of the charts performance, and can be purchased for under 200 bucks!

The official price of the new Phenom II X6 1090T is set at $300, while the junior Phenom II X6 1055T is priced at $200. This factor will undoubtedly guarantee the popularity of these processors. Especially, since our tests showed that six processor cores may be very helpful during work with video content, and that becomes an increasingly popular type of activity these days. However, there are other applications as well, where six Phenom II X6 cores may come in very handy.

Whatever way you look at it, Phenom II X6 1055T is a very interesting solution that is hard to pass. Even a quick look at a processor price list in any store will be enough for you to notice this CPU. Phenom II X6 1055T is a very good (but not the only) choice for an overclocker platform in the mainstream price range. It is easy to overclock and provides pretty substantial frequency and performance boost.

The Phenom II X6 1055T is one hell of a lot of chip for the money. Frankly, we've no idea how AMD can sell this near-one billion-transistor chip so cheaply. But no matter. What really counts is the huge amount of parallel processing power the 1055T's six cores deliver. It's got to be the most cost effective video encoding chip in the world. The six-core 1055T is an awesome CPU. But it's not without its flaws. The main problem is the sheer age of AMD's underlying CPU architecture. AMD's cores are really getting on and it shows in the gaming and file decompression benchmarks. Not the best gaming chip for the money, but still our favourite all rounder.

Anyone who already owns an AM2+/AM3 system and is looking for improved multi-threaded performance would be foolish not to consider jumping on the Phenom II X6 bandwagon. For $200, you can have a new six-core 1055T chip that can fairly easily hit about 4.0Ghz , what's not to love? It is a mainstream power user's dream. Having said that, make sure that your applications can harness this processor's capabilities. There are only a tiny handful of games that can make use of more than 4 threads, so don't bother upgrading your Phenom II X4 just yet since you likely won't be too impressed with the additional power.

If you work in a multithreading optimized environment like video editing, rendering or some other data manipulation, Phenom II X6 1055T is the best choice you can make in $200 price range, and you'll get performance of some entry Core i7 models. General computing users and especially gamers should look the other way, maybe Core i5 750, or the cheaper but faster Phenom II X4s. You'll get more performance with lower power consumption and more important, a lower price tag.
