Chinese MEDIA reported the appearance of six-core processors phenom II X6 in local retail, it became clear that the results of overclocking and testing of these processors will be available before the official announcement, which is planned for the end of April. Even now it is possible to judge the overclocking potential of the first processors phenom II X6.
The processors phenom II X6 will undoubtedly win in those applications, which are capable of effectively using resources of six cores. Core i 7 -980X Extreme edition as the only desktop Intel processor with six cores, in the majority of the cases it will prove to be faster, but it is more expensive three times. Even more accessible model gulftown promises to not be cheaper than $562.
But if we speak exclusively about the overclocking potential of AMD thuban processors with six cores on one crystal, then a certain improvement in comparison with the four core analog is observed even taking in account the fact that the technical production process remained (45 nm). If with the air cooling on the open stand these processors are overclocked to 4.2-4.4 GHz, then under liquid nitrogen one of the enthusiasts overclocked Phenom II X6 1090T Black edition to 6.29 GHz.
It was necessary to increase voltage on the core to 1.928 v, according to CPU- Z indications. Let us recall that the processors phenom II X6 can be exploited in the existing motherboard after Bios update. Related Products :
