[Technology - South Africa] AMD 1090T

[Blogger]

Here is a short review on the AMD 1090T processor that is stock 3.2 Ghz with 6 cores.  I tested it with the Asus Crosshair IV Formula and 5870 and it was really smooth in everything I tested. The cache is 512KB of L2 per core and the L3 is 6MB Cache and the chip is a 45nm.


Once I booted Windows 7 I noticed how fast and smooth everything was.  When I started loading applications and games it was really fast getting into them and working around.


If you compare the 1090T to the Intel i7 950 or i7 965 its really close between the processors but once you look at the price tag and you'll notice that AMD will save you some money and for some that is important.


The really nice thing about this processor is that it can be easily over-clocked to around 4.2 Ghz without adding liquid cooling or even expensive fans.  There are rumors that the processor has been over-clocked to 6.8 Ghz - InsideHW


I was a bit skeptical at first because I'm not an AMD supporter but all and all this CPU is really well worth the money.
