 The Phenom II processors are known for not performing well in Microsoft Excel (as a number crunching benchmark, of course) and we see the X6 versions following that same pattern. Only the Phenom II X6 1100T is able to beat the Core i5 750 in the MonteCarlo test, while it was slightly slower for the BigNumberCrunch. Excel is one of the applications where we saw the Core i7 980 XE really shine, and this can again be seen when comparing it to the Phenom II X6 processors.
 The Phenom II processors do not perform well when testing with WinRAR, and as you can see, the hexa-core processors perform much like the Phenom II X4 965, which is considerably slower than the Core i5 750.
 Our custom Photoshop CS5 benchmark which measures the time it takes for the radial blur filter to be applied to an 88MP images is able to fully utilize 6 cores or in the case of the Intel Core i7 processors 8 threads. As you can see the Phenom II X6 1100T is not a great deal faster than the 1055T let alone the 1090T. However the these six-core Phenom II processors do provide a significant performance boost over the four-core Phenom II X4 965 as the 1100T was 34% faster. The Phenom II X6 1100T was also 15% faster than the Core i5 750. That said when compared to the mighty Core i7 processors the Phenom II X6 1100T was 21% slower than the Core i7 930 and 50% slower than Intel’s six-core processor. |

My unlocked Phenom II X2 555 is still serving me well so I will wait till something more significant comes along. Nice update though thanks. |
