AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Pro Reviews

bjorn3d‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Since this is a merely a speed bump, we do not expect much coming out of the 1100T. As expected, this is the fastest processor from AMD. Like the rest of the six-core processors from AMD, the Phenom II X6 1100T shines in applications that are heavily threaded, such as video encoding and 3D rendering, but in light threaded applications, the Intel system is a tad faster. The Phenom 1100T is by no means slow in lightly threaded applications, but Intel has an upper hand due to higher IPC and greater memory bandwidth.

The flagship Phenom II X6 1100T is not a cheap CPU but considering its six cores and the overall good performance, the €199,75 price tag doesn't soud bad, either. We could manage 4GHz with our sample which is also pretty good, but as the benches show, an overclock to 3.85GHz on our 1055T sample manages to come close to the 4GHz result despite the 150MHz less clock due to higher memory and Hypertransport clocks. Depanding what you want to do, the Phenom II X6 is good choice but the 1100T comes with a price premium.

Mileages inevitably vary from chip to chip, but the 3.8GHz result suggests the 1100T is more a rebadge than a respin. Like all of AMD's six-core Thuban chips, the Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition gives you a lot of cores for not much cash. The result is excellent multithreaded throughput, with slightly ropey comparative gaming performance. AMD's CPU architecture really is getting ancient and it certainly shows in some benchmarks. An Intel chip with lower clocks and fewer cores is often faster, and sadly for AMD, that's still where the smart money's going.

I'm really pleased with the AMD Phenom II X6 1100T, it's an excellent value for the performance. In fact, the Phenom II X6 1100T is launching at a lower price ($265) than the Phenom II X6 1090T was when it originally came out ($295). The current price for the X6 1090T ($229) makes it a pretty sweet deal, and should overclock in the same ballpark as an X6 1100T. It should be noted that all AM3 processors are compatible with current AM3 & AM2+ sockets, and are designed to be compatible with the upcoming AM3+ socket... So you get backwards and forwards compatability.

The Phenom II X6 1100T at $265 is near the sweet spot for price/performance. When the Phenom II X6 launched its price limited it to those users who needed tons of threads, the recent price drops have expanded its appeal. I'd say that's the wrapup in order of success. The Athlon II X3 is an easy win, the Phenom II X6 ranges from competitive with Lynnfield to a great value and the Phenom II X2 is a nice chip to tweak but uninspired at stock.

Now refined, tweaked and polished enough to arrive with a native 3.3GHz frequency run across six cores, the 1100T goes toe-to-toe with Intel's Core i7 chips and isn't the first one to blink. We can only hope that AMD's continued presence in the mid-range CPU market, solidified with the £200 Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition, will influence Intel enough to drop the pricing of its six-core, 12-thread Core i7 chips. But maybe that's just a pipe dream.

For the first half 2011, AMD will probably be focusing on its upcoming Fusion branded platforms. These processors with integrated graphics won't get the hardcore enthusiasts too excited, but it's an opportunity for AMD to expand its almost non-existent market share in ultra-portables and netbooks. That means the current Phenom II architecture will be mostly unchanged. The Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition goes for US$265, making it the most costly desktop processor from AMD.

The Phenom II X6 processors quickly proved to be more overclocking friendly than their X4 counterparts and we easily broke the 4.0GHz barrier this time, reaching a stable 4.10GHz overclock. With limited time to play around with the Phenom II X6 1100T, we were happy with the 4.10GHz result and found that it provided substantial performance gains.

The X6 1100T is a really good processor for the price. The Turbo Core clock increase allows it to accelerate lightly threaded applications as compared to older dual/triple/quad cores. Having 6 full cores helps tremendously in heavily threaded applications which can leverage the power of those 6 cores. We are at the point where processor performance for even single threaded applications is not holding users back to any significant degree, so nearly any CPU will be good for desktop applications and internet browsing. Once we get into heavy gaming, transcoding, graphics work, and rendering do we see the need for high end processors.

We didn't experience any major surprises throughout our testing of the AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition. Due to its higher base (3.3GHz) and Turbo Core (3.7GHz) frequencies, the 1100T offered small performance gains over the previous flagship X6 1090T. And the 1100T's additional cores give it an obvious edge in multi-threaded workloads over any other previous AMD quad-core. It even outperformed the Core i5-750 in a number of scenarios. In single or lightly-threaded workloads, the 1100T performed much like the 3.5GHz Phenom II X4 970, but overall we'd say the 1100T still had the edge thanks to its higher Turbo Core frequency. Intel's more expensive six-core processors, however, are still the kings of the hill for now.

Both, the Phenom 1100T Black Edition and the 1035T have a great value proposition. Who does not want to buy a processor with more cores and more speed, at a lower price? The only reason these processors don't steamroll Intel's counterparts, is that many users looking for even higher performance are willing to pay the big bucks and that is where Intel has an advantage. Else, those looking to build a mean machine on a budget, or those looking to upgrade from an existing AM3 processor are better served by this duo from AMD.

There are some good news about the new Phenom II X6 1100T. It comes with the same price tag the Phenom II X6 1090T used to carry, meaning that AMD dropped the price for all the other six-core CPUs they have. The second thing really good about this CPU is its overclocking capability, higher than all other AMD CPUs we’ve reviewed to date.

Fusion and Sandy Bridge might be around the corner, but AMD isn’t waiting for the next generation to deliver value. The Athlon II and Phenom II lines continue to offer very impressive performance for the price. Would we recommend an upgrade today, though, knowing that Sandy Bridge is a couple of weeks away, and the first Brazos-based CPUs are going to be unveiled at CES? If you can, it certainly seems like a better idea to wait. After all, the computing landscape could very well change in less than a month.

Once again, AMD has pumped out a solid six-core processor for under $300 brand new. This pricing design makes every day gamers and users able to afford the best computing power for their money. While this is not a CPU you would worry about tossing your AMD Phenom II X6 1090T out for, if you are wanting to take a leap into a six-core computing environment, you will get the power you have been wanting for under $300. I would highly recommend the AMD Phenom II X6 series and, more specifically, the new 1100T model, for anything you can throw at it

Considered on its own, the AMD Phenom II X6 1100T is an incredible processor. A 3.3GHz, six-core processor for $265 showcases how far the price-performance ratio has come in just the last year. The problem is, the 1100T can't be considered on its own because of AMD's own 1075T and 1090T. These three processors are identical (except for the multiplier and the fact that the 1075T is not a "black edition"), their stock performance is very closed (less than a 10% difference, on average, between the 1075T and the 1100T) and they all overclock to 4.0-4.1GHz with good cooling.

AMD’s fastest six-core processor still struggles to compete with Intel’s best four-core designs in our benchmarks.

hardwarecanucks‘s review Edit Like Unlike

As we hypothesized in the introduction, adding a 100Mhz to the Phenom II X6 1090T was not going to create a chip that drastically reshapes the CPU landscape. However, it has allowed the Phenom II X6 1100T to more effectively compete with the likes of the Core i7-870 and i7-920/930. Sometimes it wins, sometime it loses, but generally speaking we are talking about performance differences that most users would be oblivious to on a day-to-day basis. In the end, this is a very good chip that we have no problems recommending, and that should appeal to quite a few users...at least until January.

The AMD Phenom II 1100T is a great addition to AMD’s lineup. It is solid enough to compare favorably to some of Intel’s 1156 CPUs that cost upwards of $60 more (like the i7 875K). Like all Phenoms, it does lack good memory performance and can become quickly bogged down by large instructions. We see this in the HyperPi testing that we ran.
