Thanks a lot.
Very glad that AMD is the first CPU to be added side-by-side with my T7500. However I am disappointed from far-from uncompromising performance shown by AMD Phenom II X6 'Thuban' 1090T 6-core Black Edition, as I saw at:
http://www.futurelooks.com/the-amd-p...cessor-review/
"In a nutshell, it allows the CPU to dynamically overclock up to three of its own cores to provide extra performance. In the case of the 1090T pictured in the screenshot, we see that a couple of the cores have hit 3.6GHz, one is at 3.2GHz, which is the stock CPU speed, and the rest of them are clocked way down."
As the task manager shows first two working on 3584MHz, the third at ????MHz, the fourth on 3255MHz and rest two under 2000MHz!!! This is not a desktop CPU at all, grrr. All-in-all I hate AMD's Turbo CORE, it is like throwing dices - not utilizing the full power due to temperature limits. As for INTEL’s Turbo Boost I don't like it either - not knowing what is going on due to dynamical resets is like selling you a car and saying "you don't need these high RPMs or torque because you cannot change gears as we do", not for me.
I prefer Turbo Boost disabled during the tests.
I was under the impression that BE (Black Edition) AMD CPUs were counterparts of X (Extreme) Intel CPUs. More useful would be a variant running all its cores at full speed - for extreme tests it is mandatory.
