Yes, and unfortunately for AMD their new hexacores are only on par with an i7 930. Higher end i7 CPUs still leave the X6s in their dust, and the performance gap between the best X6 and the i7 980X is as large as the price difference.

When did I say intel wasn't releasing a hexacore...? I was merely pointing out that you are dreaming if you think intel will release a processor at the same price point as AMD. They know their markets and Intel hasn't been competitively priced with AMD for a long time.

From speculative point, Intel will release lesser hexacores with crippled bandwidth, and insanely low multiplier priced next to the Thuban just to spite them. Im just guessing.

AMDs' products are not as pricey as Intels and they have almost the same or more performance. I've liked AMD for a long time. and I'm not going for Intel anytime soon mainly because you don't get that much of a performance boost for such a high price.redframe01

The 1090T has a lower performance/price than similarly priced intel CPUs. This was a disappointment.

i5's/i7's are better. See no reason to go AMD right now. i5750at4Ghz

DOUBT IT!

for a gaming computer though is a hexacore really necessary? i mean i could understand for like animation and other film related applications but for gaming it just seemes a bit overkillishFUBAR24

The only thing holding this cpu back is the dual channel dd3 they need to go triple and this will be a monster. As it stands you can get this cpu with mobo, memory and a 5870 for less than the cost of i7 980x. If that not impressive I don't know what is ???

Sadly all these CPUs are not worth it. A good old Q6600 or Phenom 955 will do just as good for games. Don't mention any other things like media, this is a gaming forum.SinfulPotato

I still have my Q6600 @ 3.6 Ghz.

It works great. I'm waiting for something that is more than twice as powerfull as my Q6600 for under $200. :)
