The AMD Hexa Core 1090t BE

[Quite Life]

Has anyone picked up the new AMD 6X 1090T Black Edition? Yeah it's a poor mans 6 core but for the $300 it might be worth a whirl... I saw the pre release benchmarks that someone did off of Cinebench and 3D Mark Vantage... They where OK but nothing to be totally stoked about... It's no i7 Extreme 980x but it's not meant to be it's may perform more closer to the i7 860 and 870... No the bench test were off the 790GX boards instead of the 790FX or the new 890GX or the up and comming 890FX Cross-hair iv. (Asus boards are the best). I'm sure if the chip was tested off those boards it would have squeezed a slightly higher score. Though it's at 125W so it has good over-clocking room. I'll most likely pick up the chip along with the Asus 890GX ad the Corsair Dominator for the AMD either the 1333MHz with a cool low latency at 7-7-7-20 8 GB kit w/ the cutzie green fins or the par of 4GB Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz at 8-8-8-24 with a pair hot rodded 5850's and at least a 950W or 1000W to throw at it...
