Test Setup
When it comes down to it, a processor is one of the most vital parts of a computer, and it’s not bought for its pleasing aesthetics or the way the light glistens on it, but more about the way it performs in real tasks that most users will be performing at some point.
For others, figures and benchmarks are something to shout and wave about, but we try to stay consistent through all of our testing to give you the best possible results in the fairest way.
You can see the system that we used below for all of our testing purposes.
| Test System | |
|---|---|
| Processor (CPU) | AMD Phenom II X6 1100T |
| Motherboard | Asus Crosshair IV Formula |
| Memory (RAM) | 8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1800MHz |
| Graphics Card | AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB |
| Primary Hard Drive | Kingston V+ Series 64GB SSD x 2 (Raid 0) |
| Power Supply | BFG EX Series 1200watt |
| Operating System | Windows 7 Professional 64-bit |
190 doesn`t sound so bad for that 3.6 turbo speed. but when we`ll see stock speed from AMD at least 3.8 at this price then i`ll consider it 🙂
why not make stable 4 point 0 😀 GHz CPU? Naah Whole pace gathered by the competition between Intel and AMD is good for prices of older models. But what with multi threaded apps? You pay for the 6cores and only few of apps can take advantage of it? That's why i'm using x2 low power CPU in my HTPC. Am I wrong when i will say that i can count those apps with all my fingers ? BTW 190Ł holy smokey! that's almost whole my computer price 😀
I bet you can clock that up even higher, but still, any 6 core processor is beast. I love AMD processors, so cheaply sold which makes it good for people like me. Great review, thank you.
