Six New Phenom II And Athlon II CPUs From AMD

[cleeve]

For the third time in 2010, AMD is adding more speed to its processor lineup. But this time, both the Athlon II and Phenom II CPUs are being included. We spill the beans about the new dual-, triple-, quad-, and hexa-core chips in today’s article.

Do I hear comeback from AMD? Hopefully the Bulldozer shows results with the AM3+/AM3r2 in benchs.

Good article and the 1075T is a good addition to the 6-Core line...
And most of all, thanks for confirming that all the current socket will be replaced next year including AMD.

 

[scifi9000]

I'd love to see these new chips pitted against the T1000 processor.

this is hardly a comeback, they simply filled in segments on the price range with not-so-new products. a little bump in speed, probably better binned, and a few more bucks. seems like the logical thing to do at this point, until bulldozer anyhow

I'd rather it was a 970T at 3.6 ghz with turbo up to 4.1ghz.
Then again, who wouldn't?

I'm still waiting for Bulldozer, I hope that Bulldozer makes AMD king again. If so I'll buy another AMD system. I've been waiting since the early Dualcore Windsor cores.

 

[spentshells]

nothing new here good on AMD if they keep the prices the same
the 645 and 450 are really crazy good deals

Our 6 or their 4... Yeah, I'll still take i7 4 cores over these crappy 6cores. Not to mention, the i7 920 can be pushed another 50% in speed, 1075T can not, and it's more expensive than i7 920.

At $145, he 1075T is $40 cheaper than any Core i7 I can find online.

 

[TheStealthyOne]

Yay!

 

[idoln95]

are these temps with stock cooler? they seem to be a big off...


oh sorry, missed the minus ambient part...

wow, thats kinda hot.... (30C ambient in here 🙁 )

I think you meant $245, Don.

I find it great to see the Phenom II 970 still capable of Cool'n'Quiet idle mode while overclocked. C'n'Q doesn't work on my 720BE at any speed over 3.2GHz. Is that something common to the C3-Stepping models?

 

[AMW1011]

Holy shit, 3.5 Ghz stock. I know it really doesn't mean much, but I still like the sound of that.

Sandra is very bad synthetic benchmark. It clearly favors Intel architecture and the differences are not that dramatic in real world applications. With enough bribes you seemingly can get nice optimizations.

 

[dirtmountain]

A very well written article. It covered all the bases and was very informative. Damn good work, it's why people check in at Tom's Hardware.

 

[jgv115]

I'm happy that my Core i5 750 stands up to 2 updates (speed bumps) of the Phenom II 955 (the 965 and 970). It even beats the 1075T!

I think the 750 is still the better CPU in it's price range.

 

[liquidsnake718]

Yeah there should hve been at least a core i3 fo good measure against the AMD 2's...

 

[L0tus]

Very cheap tactic to lure the uneducated masses who will think that clock speed is king.

As far as gaming goes, an i5-750 at stock speed still craps all over these chips...and guess what? The i5 can also be easily overclocked! By yourself!!! OMGWTFBBQ1!1!

How are the StarCraft 2 benchmarks possible? I NEVER drop below 55 fps and I'm using an Athlon II X3 445 with an HD 5750 and 4 GB of RAM. I don't get it.

I should also mention I'm running on High with 1680x1050 resolution.

Maybe the test conditions are different? The numbers in that graph are similar to the Tom's latest SC2 benchmark (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/starcraft-ii-radeon-geforce,2728-8.html), so I assume they use the same test method as that one.

The i5 750 is certinately a very nice chip, one I would recommend for gaming without a question, but if you use your PC for more than gaming, then the Phenom x6 range is beter value, It is also no slouch in the gaming department, whilst not matching the i5 750, is does not dissapoint and plays every single game on the market with loads of performance to spare!

The 1055t is still better value though as it will OC to exactly the same as the new 1075T, so i would not waste the money, go with the 1055t and OC it (I men 200mhz for free, why pay for it when you dont need it, also my 1055t makes 4Ghz on 1.5v and over 3.8ghz on 1.475)

Nice speed bumps though, and dont forget the shafting everyone is getting now buying a 1156 board! Damn things sometimes move too fast!

Of course, sometimes, a new processor stepping increases overclocking headroom a little. We test this in the benchmarks below.

What are you talking about? All these new releases are still the C3 stepping. There is no new stepping here.

 

[digitalwitchcraft]

I usually like amd processors (because of their price/performance ratio), but I just LOVE how the i5-750 overclocks
