New AMD Phenom II X6 Info

Not sure how legit this info is, but this site says it has some info about the pricing of amd's 6-core processors coming out in the coming weeks.  The prices and specs seem logical to me, now we just have to wait for the overclocking and benchmark info!

$295 for the 1090 is a really good price. I would definitely upgrade to that from the x4 if that is the case. 6 cores at 3.2GHz Stock:

The coolest thing i think, is that the 6 core processors are 125W tdp, the same as quad cores.  This means AMD has been doing some optimizing!

Yeah, this is legit pricing, it's currently for sale in Europe and will be here before long.  I have verified the pricing on several different websites.

This time arround it's confirmed that the rumored Turbo speeds now have been revealed. A Norwegian online shop (Microplex) has listed two six-core processors—the Phenom II X6 1055T and Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition—and both specifications and pricing appear to be valid.

Rather than just quoting a single clock speed per CPU, these latest listings display additional "Turbo" speeds of 3.3GHz (up from 2.8GHz) for the 1055T and 3.6GHz (up from 3.2GHz) for the 1090T. We can probably take that as confirmation of last month's rumors, which said AMD had implemented a core "overclocking" scheme similar to Intel's Turbo Boost.

Looks like the six-core Phenom IIs cost about $206 for the Phenom II X6 1055T and $296 for the 1090T. The Norwegian site also confirms 9MB of L3 cache and 125W thermal envelopes for both offerings.
