It would be remiss of our not to include any results from either the Intel Core i7 970 or 980X, after all they are Intel's high end ‘6 core processors'. To be fair, they are three times the price of the 1100T and it is therefore very hard to effectively evaluate them side by side. We don't work for either company however so we felt this was an interesting addition to the review, even if few people would be willing to spend over £700 on a processor.
On this page we will compare the AMD Phenom II against a reference clocked Intel Core i7 970 processor.
While the 1100T can hold onto the performance levels of the Core i7 950 in some of these tests, the 970 is considerably faster, even with the Crypography AES256 and SHA256 tests.
For rendering and video encoding, the Core i7 is a clear performance winner.
bloody hell, nice overclock man. that is a cracker processor.
Love the cinema4d information, i use an older quad core for rendering a lot and this seems like my next upgrade. price point is better than I thought. I remember the 1090t was 250 when it came out.
Like the idea of a review/OC guide. I never know how the fuck to overclock my chips. the 1055T guide you did helped me alot.
Id love to say ill get this for my upgrade, but its a bad time of the year, maybe in the new year.
Love it. well done.
Nice overclock. I only managed to get 500mhz out of my 1055T which was pretty poor. Good to get your views on voltage also, not many ocing guidelines on that and hard to know from forums who is talking out of their ass and who is right.
OCUK are selling this for £225 inc vat? thats a deal and a half, just ordered one.
Ive been holding off on a new platform for ages. Im a multiple core fan, I bought the first core quad eons ago and havent upgraded since. Might look into this in the new year when I have some spare cash to burn.
I agree this is one of the best looking AMD chips yet, the overclocking potential seems high. that noctua NH D14 cooler is insane however, covers the motherboard basically !! not exactly easy to work around it.
unusual review style, but I like the overclocking guide concept. My friend used the 1055T guide here months ago and it helped him. headroom seems higher on this chip, but I think it might be a hand picked review sample? possible ?
If you arent overclocking then its not worth the premium over the 1090t. pointless really. I hope this review sample is a good indication of headroom. I watercool and I got the 1090T to 4.3ghz easy enough with 1.65 volts. potential for 4.5ghz here.
I like this editorial. its a boring release so getting the max from air cooling is a nice way to differentiate the test results. Seems to be a good purchase, but its hard to fault for the price. its a strength of AMD’s releases in the last year. aim for the lowest point possible and max the cores.
