AMD once again burn the midnight up with their new series of Phenom processors, Phenom II X6 1055T. It is claimed to be the first six-cores processor for consumer class, and will ensure you with a perfect yet powerful ability in multitasking and multithread applications.
CPU with AM3 socket created in 45 nanometer transistors technology is what this processor provide. It also has six separated cores running at 2.8 Ghz, with L2 cache memory of 512KB and L3 6MB cache memory accessable by all six cores. This powerful AMD CPU also come with built-in memory controller that support DDR2 and DDR3 RAM, and it will consume 125 watt in average.
If you are an AMD user with motherboard of AM2+ socket and at least AMD 760 chipset, you could up grade your rig with this all-new six cores processors. But to think you might need to deal with upgrading your BIOS, I suggest to use a new motherboard with AM3 socket and AMD 890 chipset from any major brand such as ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc.
This Phenom II X6 1055T will show its optimum potential not only when you use it for picture, audio, and video editing as well as multitasking. But also, with the automatic system planted in them, three of it cores will be running "underclock" to 800Mhz and overclock the rest to 3.3 Ghz when you only running two core standard application, so the process will be boosted and finish in an instant.
You also could, with this AMD CPU and Windows 7 OS, running virtual session of Windows 95, 98, ME and XP simultanousely. But before doing this, you'll be better enabling virtualization in the BIOS setting, for when it still disabled sometimes error occured and the system will state it doensn't have a CPU that supports the virtual machine.
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T is a perfect choice for them who want to build an extremely powerfull rig without being worry of spending "too much" money for nothing.
