A few months ago in March 2010 we tested Intel's first consumer 6-core CPU, the Intel i7 980x (Extreme), which turned out to be the computer equivalent of a Ferrari; very fast and very expensive. Today it is AMD’s turn to launch consumer 6-core CPU’s and they take the opportunity to not only release one CPU but two: the AMD Phenom™ II X6 1055T (2.6 GHz) and the AMD Phenom™ II X6 1090T (3.2 GHz). In contrast to Intel’s fast and expensive chip AMD has continued its path of delivering performance at an affordable price meaning that you will be able to build a complete system with the the AMD Phenom™ X6 1090T for the same price of a Intel i7 980x.
