Gigabyte has listed AMD Phenom II X6 (code-named Thuban) in its "CPU Support List" and thus we finally have clock speeds are out there and they are respectable high to be 6 cores built on a 45nm SOI process.

There is also a 1075T rated at 3.0ghz and 125w TDP.

I wonder how well these things will overclock, given the two extra cores.

 

[jemping]

Nice, now I'll just wait for the BE
and the right price..

 

[dcshoejake]

Now if only they listed prices..

 

[dham]

The 6mb of l3 cache is going to kill this thing. At least the phenom II architecture has more l2 cache per core than the i7's and i5's though.

I really want to go AMD but I don't think these things are going to help me. And the fact my main music D.A.W. only supports 2 cores.. Just depends.

I Wonder what kind of improvement if any, Two extra cores can give to games like GTA4 and UT3 as well as others that make use of more than 2 cores..

They may run super pi a little closer to the i7's. That's all people care about on these boards when buying a chip. Oh and if it can get a higher 3d mark score. Don't bother posting real world performance on anything. /sarcasm.

Lol I know what you mean but personally I care about real-world performance and look forward to seeing these in action.

 

[CallmeRoth]

They should have done a minimum of 8MB L3.

Yea man I was being sarcastic. Haha. I'll add /sarcasm on my post.

 

[Chranny]

Wonder what they will go for? :/

Wait, the Phenom II x6 aren't Black Editions?

BE/ Non BE - really doesn't matter. some BE's dont even clock as good as non BE's. don't get fooled

 

[Behemoth777]

Well, I myself am an avid gamer and I'm curious to see the overclocking potential and gaming performance. I can't imagine these chips will be geared towards gaming, but who know if it will actually show any real world performance increase.

EDIT: 1,000th post!

probably very badly...I had to give my 995 tonnes of extra voltage to reach 3.9GHz, two extra cores is only gonna make it worse :/

 

[NameUnknown]

Waiting on a black edition, and a revision or two to get it a bit more refined. I wonder how the megahalems will handle them.

 

[smoothjk]

Very fair prices if true, but most people still aren't going to need more than four cores. Still, would be cool to have six anyway.

 

[test tube]

I'm not sure there's any real reason they'd benefit from a larger level 3 cache... The larger the cache size, the slower the cache is. The difference between the Athlon II's and the Phenom II's isn't all that great in terms of performance anyway.

 

[bmost1022]

They aren't even 32 nm? Why is AMD so far behind intel?
