Reviews - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 95W CPU review

[petercook7]

Great review - we've been looking forward to this one!

And the chip delivers too - I hope AMD have enough margins to make this one profitable, because it's finally competitive with lynnfield IMHO.

I wouldn't mind purchasing it as part of a motherboard bundle, but I'd expect to get the motherboard I wanted and not have to pay any extra for doing so!

Interesting that despite your adding 10% to various lines, the core voltage when overclocked manually is less than when you allowed turbo mode to kick in at stock speeds. (although this isn't reflected in power draw figures - explanation?) :

Overclocked:


Stock, turbo core:

how did you get it to 4000 mhz as ht 288

[ehhhhhhh]

14 x 288 = 4032

I got mine from Aria when they had them on their website, interestingly idle power draw isn't much higher than it was for my E7200!

I am very curious to know how it would compare to my 965 C3. Especially the idle power state. Anyone know?

The 965 used in that review must have been the older, C2 revision.

OK point me in the right direction to get one of these, please
