6 Core CPU's

[GUEST]

6 Core CPU's coming soon, to hit desktops in April 2010

AMD will release its first hexa-core CPU Phenom II X6 featuring 'C-state performance boost'

:quote: "which will start up when single thread performance is needed most, auto disabling idle cores and overclocking the remaining engines to the maximum possible level"

just instaled my first hex-core

seems quite zippy so far :)

I can report a 20fps (average) increase in frame rates on BC2
using a athlon II 635 2.8GHz with 4Gb ram and a xfx4890 was getting 40-50fps on max settings
same setup on with AMD phenom II 1055t 2.8-3.3Ghz getting 60-80fps
