Life for AMD has been very interesting. Last year they were upside down in debt, losing money almost every quarter and putting out CPUs that, while cheaper than their Intel counterparts, could not perform on par with Intel’s current generation CPUs. They had some bright areas though, notably in the GPU arena. Here they have the vaunted 5000 series GPUs that are probably the best you can get in terms of price and performance. However, today we may just see a game changer from AMD. Today marks the launch of the Phenom II X6. This is a $300 Sexa Core CPU that is capable of running on AMD’s 800 and 700 series chipset. That is right you can drop this on an AM2+ or AM3 socket for a very inexpensive upgrade. The question everyone wants to know is; will the Phenom II X6 have the power to keep up with Intel’s current generation… We aim to find out.
