From the Manufacturer As AMD's premier processor, the Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition sets a new bar for PC performance. With six cores and a blazing 3.2 GHz clock speed, the processor is designed to handle all of the latest and most demanding software. It also features an unlocked multiplier that gives you the option of overclocking the chip for faster performance. Compatible with motherboards with an AM2+ or AM3 socket, the 1090T is an ideal processor for enthusiasts who value flexibility and performance. AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Six-Core Processor At a Glance: Six 3.2 GHz cores for blazing-fast processing Unlocked multiplier offers flexibility for overclocking Turbo Core technology optimizes performance Fast, ultra-wide bandwidth for quick memory access Designed to handle next-gen games AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Six-Core Processor Six 3.2 GHz cores for blazing-fast processing.Turbo Core technology optimizes performance. Six Powerful Processing Cores With the Phenom II X6 series, AMD has made the power of six-core processing available to budget-conscious consumers. Engineers have combined six cores into a single processor, giving you enough processing muscle for even the most highly threaded applications. Each core is equipped with 512K L2 cache, and all six cores share 6MB L3 smart cache between them. AMD has also included an ultra-wide, 4000MT/s bandwidth--enough to support all six cores effectively. For users, this means that you'll be able to run all the latest software without the slowdown you'd experience with an inferior processor. Your computer will be able to handle multiple programs at once, and high-definition media players and video editors will run smoothly and efficiently. You'll also be able to enjoy next-gen games without any frame-rate hiccups. Unlocked Multiplier for Powerful Overclocking If you're an enthusiast looking to push the limits of PC performance, the Phenom II X6-1090T makes it easier than ever to overclock your system. The unlocked multiplier allows you to manually increase the chip's frequency far beyond its stock values. You can achieve the best results by combining your processor with a reliable motherboard, high-performance SDRAM, and an effective cooling system. With the right combination, you'll be able to overclock your chip to unprecedented speeds. Turbo Core Optimizes Performance The Phenom II X6 series also comes equipped with Turbo Core technology, which actively optimizes the chip's performance to match your workload. If three or fewer cores are in use, the processor will redirect voltage to the active cores and overclock them by up to 500 MHz. With Turbo Core activated, you'll be able to blaze through all applications--even ones that don't make use of multiple cores. Cutting-Edge Technologies for Faster Processing The Phenom II X6 also makes use of several other performance-boosting technologies, including: HyperTransport Bandwidth: Speeds up communication between the processor and memory, improving overall system performance. Integrated Memory Controller: Actively scales bandwidth uses to match your computing needs, dramatically reducing slowdown. 128-bit Floating-Point Unit (FPU): Allows processor to execute floating-point calculations with extreme speed. Gaming without Slowdown PC gaming continues to improve at a breakneck rate, with graphics, physics, and AI growing more realistic each year. But you'll need more than just a good graphics card to keep up with the latest games. For certain games that are heavily threaded, a slow CPU can quickly become a bottleneck for performance and can ruin your gaming experience. Fortunately, the Phenom II X6 series has been specifically designed to handle CPU-intensive games. With its multiple cores, the processor can manage thousands of high-speed gaming calculations at once. The result is a smooth, immersive gaming experience, free of any stuttering or latency.
