HEXUS.net - Review :: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 95W CPU review : Page - 1/7
Enhancing the six-pronged attack
Processor company AMD has used the backdrop of the recession to promote a range of value-orientated CPUs and GPUs. The processors run from single-core models through to six-core processing, and no consumer CPU costs you more than £225. AMD would rather charge you £500-plus for its top-of-the-line components, much as it did five years ago, but Intel's performance Core i7 chips, spanning £190-£780, keep AMD's pricing hemmed in.
So which AMD CPU should you buy, appreciating the vast range on offer? Looking towards the future with an aim of insulating yourself from continual upgrading, the Phenom II X6 chips make a compelling case. First uncovered two months ago, the 95W version of the Phenom II X6 1055T looks particularly tasty, coming in at £150.
