THey are both 6 cores but why does the price slope like a hill when it compares to each other?? the only big idfference i know is the 6mb and 12mb cache. i know somewhat of a good amount about omcputers but i do not understand why they are so diffrently price ranged and what 6mb and 12mb cache is, maysomeone please explaine. ty

yes,but 980 is hyper-threaded,and have 12 thread.980x is better than amd 1090t in most field even rendering and encoding.1090t beat all i7 in most field except 980x look at this:
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=AMD+Phenom+II+X6+1090T
amd in performance and price is the best.intel's price is expensive.1090t is best cpu in 300$ and beat's inte's cpus that have 800-900$

 

[xaira]

for the average joe: 1090t is better

for hedgefund managers, wall street bankers and financial product sales associates: i7 980x

 

[jkeopka]

I would highly recommend the 1090T. It offers similar performance for less than a third of the cost. The 1090T is a much better value. Unless you have money flowing out your ears like a faucet, the 1090T is a better choice.

 

[jennyh]

The i7 980X is awesome lol, no point denying it.

For the price? Nope. You can get three 1090T's for the same price, and if you used them all together like in a server, they would end up more than twice as fast.

or 980x vs

 

[cummervally]

goto cpu passmark for a whole set of cpu benchmark.

 

[Raidur]

I prefer not to wipe my ass with money, I'll take the 1090T.

Which is better? :/

 

[builderbobftw]

The real deabte:


i5-750 vs 1055T

i7-930 vs 1090T

 

[runswindows95]

Another vote for the 1090T. For the money, you can build a complete 1090T system for the cost of the i7 980X.

 

[Alfred_i]

be sure 1090t is better.

 

[builderbobftw]

It said better, not better price/preformance people.

jus to clear it up:

AMD Hexcore: Cheaper.

intell hex core: better.

End fo story,

 

[jennyh]

The real issue is.

AMD hex core : Cheaper and Better than intel Quad core.

Any of you who can afford to throw cash at an i7 980x, feel free to ignore the obviousness of this. 😀

If I understand you correctly, I think everyone is misunderstanding your question.

The 980X is a faster chip, even though both are 6 core chips. There are a few reasons for this.

Its important to remember that clock speed is not a good measure of cpu speed between different architectures. One chip can do more work at the same clock speed. For exampe, core 2 duos were almost twice as fast at the pentium D at the same clock speed, even though both were dual core.

The current Intel cpu cores are faster per clock cycle than the equivalent AMD core. Also the cache difference you mentioned equates to about 10% speed boost. Intel chips also have a few special instruction that improve speed in certain applications.

All in all, the 980X is about 30% faster than the 1090T. But the 1090T is 1/3 the price and a great performer.

If I understand you correctly, I think everyone is misunderstanding your question.

My thoughts exactly. You beat me to it.

Think of it like this: cycle only measures the speed of the CPU not how powerful it is. To measure its power, you would need to take the speed (in cycles per second or Hz) and factor in how much it does per each cycle. The core i7 architecture does more per cycle than the Phenom II architecture. Plus is has all the aforementioned features like turbo boost (speeds up clock cycle for a single or a couple cores that are heavily loaded), hyperthreading (allows two threads to be executed at the same time on one core) and more cache (less slow ram access required).

 

[yasserlee]

price : 1090t
performance : without doubt 980x

 

[cjl]

The 980x is faster, and not by a small margin. Realistically, for most users, the 1090t is the better choice though.

 

[andy5174]

i7-980X is of course better, but the performance gain is definitely not worth the premium. I would recommend that you get the 1055T as you already have a compatible mb.

 

[Lmeow]

Well, 'better' in terms of performance is the i7 980X no doubt, but as for price/performance, the 1090T is better. But, the i7 980X costs > $1000, and the Phenom II X6 1090T is less than a third of the price.

Jenny:

1. The 1090T is more expensive than the i7-930 by 10$ Newegg, 110$ Micrenter.

2. The 1090T is 150$ more than thwe i5-750 (Microenter), and 100$ mroe on newegg.

3. The 1090T loses to the 930 in most things.

[1] Simply put, cache is an on-chip memory where the processor places frequently accessed data. By keeping more data closer to the processor for fast execution, overall performance is improved. This is of particular benefit when running rich media titles and games, as well as everyday productivity applications. Imagine your entire brain to be the cpu. Then the frontal cortex, where your brain stores your short term memories for quick recall, is your cache.

looooooose?????lol.in many froum you can see the result of the benchmark that 930 beat 1090 is because of this :
that program didn't support 6 core of cpu!!!and in prgram that support 6 core 1090 beat 930.goto cpubenchmark.net see high end cpu.the result of all benchmark is in there.

That doesn't tell the whole stry, not by a long shot.

It loses eppicaly in most games, and monay other things.

if you look at that game that 930 beat 1090t ,965 beat 1090.it show you that didn't support the 6core.i said it again.why you don't understand.cpubenchmark.net is the standard and every body agreemet with that.and you are a intel fanboy.try to guid here not toiling.

 

[builderbobftw]

Have you seen the gaming beches?

i assume not, becuase if you had you wouldnt be argueing with me.
