If you look at where the X6 of AMD was targeted at, it is not anywhere near slower to the Intel 980. Both are pretty neck and neck. Multithreaded applications will be where the X6 will shine. Wait till Bulldozer. Intel is going to be crying all the way to bankruptcy court like GM.

I hope so. I will expect AMD will be no more in 2012.

Nothing AMD has can even come close to the performance of intel's I7 currently, even the new X6, go read all the benchmarks, it's still 25% - 30% behind the i7 in all tests and all benchmarks.

Sure it might be cheaper but so what? It's slower, too. And hopefully soon intel will release their 8-core 16-thread processors to consumers (They already have em for servers) and finally nail the coffin on AMD.

Are those Thai trannies?

WOW Drashek, that's a WHOLE BUNCH of Trannies!!! LOLED HARD!!!

I've been looking thru the web for reviews about the Phenom II x6 1055T, which is wisely priced at ~US$220 on sites like Amazon, and still wonders WHY in the hell the INQ is not talking about it.

Sure it's not a performance king, but it have a pretty nice performance/price ratio, and it scale really well on media and encoding apps...

So INQ, once again... Why you guys don't talk much about it?

AMD Phenom II X6 is being sold retail to public with INSTABT $50 Rebate on ALL Models. So from $149 to $249 is Present Front page headline Price. Mustah bee reason....

Maybe its INTEL 3 channel memory on 6 core. Maybe its INTEL is just better, Maybe to...ummmm, sell lot of AMD.

Look for YeSelves. Sometimes good ifdeas go awfully BAD, take General Motor Company investment in ebay, One Less GM.

Cutting Cord Short & then charging FULL. NOT So Popular. When see unlockable cores, Once again see mustah bin defectective run. Buy. Even Tiger knows NOT to buy low,sell low.
