Good job richierich and thanks for the benches.

Thanks apocalypse for quantifying them

 

[lopri]

Excellent results and thank you for sharing. 6 cores @4.0GHz for under $200 will be totally awesome if it works on my current AM2+ platform. Not sure if I need that many cores but I always welcome more choices.

 

[Axon]

Impressive. I was just trolling around Micro Center this morning for a 1055t...not on the floor yet. As soon as I asked for it the kid went right in the back and looked at it. Siiiigh.

Excellent for AMD. The good news is my wife's pc is a candidate for an upgrade soon. Looks like she might get a Thuban. Will they even sell the PII x4s anymore?

lol, lucky you with the MC near by, it must be fun just looking at so many goodies let alone buying something

sure they will. Phenom II X4 will get a new top end part, 960T, in a few weeks. No change to the other X4's for now.

 

[Markfw]

Only one problem I have with those graphs. While informative, they pit 3 $300 cpu's against a $1000 one.

Well there is a solution for that.
You just add the scores up for the 3 $300 cpu's and compare it to the 1000$ one.

i'm sure this has been asked before, but why is the I7 980X so far ahead of everything else in the AES encryption benchmark?

why are these graphs comparing a thuban at 4.3Ghz with the 930 and 980x at 4.2Ghz?

 

[busydude]

why are these graphs comparing a thuban at 4.3Ghz with the 930 and 980x at 4.2Ghz?

This is *not* an official benchmark, apocalypse spend some time of his to voluntarily create those graphs based on data he has (930 and 980X) and compared it with 1055T that richierich provided in this thread to give us an idea how the new chip performed.

 

[james 1]

do any of you gents know when anands review will be out

 

[jthunderloc]

April 31st

Hopefully later tonight or tomorrow. I havn't been able to find any kind of official release date on anything but people are saying they are due out tomorrow.

[Makaveli]

And what is wrong with the comparison?

 

[toyota]

where are the reviews? you can already buy the cpus but not one damn review from any of the big tech sites. I know I wouldnt buy something without looking at proper reviews and has this even ever happened before? really why the hell would the nda still be in place when the product is already available for purchase?

Haha, its killing me too. NDA ftl -_-.

 

[richierich1212]

I dunno, it's hard to beat AMD's hex-core pricing. If you're mostly gaming, pass. But if you want those extra cores on the cheap, with very good performance, get a Thuban .

The 1055 and 1090 have just hit newegg.

yep, with a nice little $15 early adopter increase. Not that bad actually. I'm waiting on a Frys combo

I ordered 3 hours ago when they first arrived. It was $310 then. Up 5 in 3 hours !

 

[Dark4ng3l]

They also have 3 890FX boards. The two asus boards aren't even on the website yet.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...cription=890fx

I just realized I linked newegg.ca for the phenoms. Thats why the price "increase".

I think the MSRP is simply below market value. Especially the 1055 @ $200.00.
