OC3D Review AMD 1075T Hexcore

Great review as always guys. What cooler did you use for this, and what were the temperatures like?

I was talking to Mul about this the other night, was the classic is it really that cool? AMD style chip. Load was mid 40's on a SilenX cooler youll be seeing reviewed soon.
 
Same old Phenom, it has to be overclocked to its max so it can compete with default core i7’s when are AMD going to come up with something that has a triple channel controller and can give you the huge memory bandwidth that the core i7’s have otherwise AMD are just wasting their time and will remain the underdog of the cpu market.
 
They remain relatively competative in a more budget concious world. For example a consumer wanting decent bandwidth for their PCIe interfaces, and a reasonable performance is probably going to go for a 1055/1075T, a CHIV, for about £320-340. A decent i7 board is going to run £200+, plus an i7 950 which is £220 ish.

I agree that they desperately need to update the K10 architecture (I'm pretty sure Helen of Troy had one). But for massively multithreaded programs, the AMD is still a smart buy.
