Not sure if this has been posted yet, if it has, sorry.

The gang at DigiTimes have always struck us as processor obsessives -- constantly out on the streets, roughing up mobo manufacturers, getting them to spill their secrets (they probably look like Gene Hackman in Night Moves). And they've sure been busy, this time digging up some dirt on AMD's six-core Phenom II line. Hitting shelves as soon as the second quarter this year, the X6 1035T will clock in at 2.6GHz, the 1005T at 2.8GHz, and the 1075T at 3GHz. There is also a Phenom II X6 1095T possibly coming to fruition in the fourth quarter of the year, but we don't have any data on that one yet. According to Alien Babel Tech (where we did our undergrad, by the way) the 1055T is will retail for $199, while the as-of-yet unknown 1090T black edition will retail $295. As always, we recommend that in lieu of an official announcement you take all this with a grain of salt.

Phenom II X6 1095T Q4 2010 :( Noooooooo

The 3.2GHZ Phenom II X6 1090T is being released next month.
 
Christ......trying to keep up with all these naming schemes is doing my head in.....

Do they do it deliberately, make things as obtuse as possible, is it some sort of mental gymnastics for geeks or something?.....
 
Really am fancying giving one of these a go.

That 1055T for $199 looks like a steal for a 6 physical core CPU :|

remember the uk rip off extra + price then it might not be so great :D

will watch benchies on that for sure. though dunno what 6 cores work on a 785 if they even work at all if not then stay with the x4

Well if you do a straight $ -> £ + VAT then you end up with prices very close to that of the i5 750 for the 1055T ($199 + VAT = ~£150), and the i7 860/920 for the 1095T ($299 + VAT = ~£233).

Which would be well priced and placed to compete.

I have to agree, I was expecting these to be much more expensive. If I have the money I may go for one of these. Does anyone know which socket they will use?
 
More interested in the 960T. For me its more appropriate. I mean if you dont do much encoding/folding etc what use are 6 cores for day to day stuff/gaming (even if the games are CPU limited?)
