The first ever six-core socket AM3 processor from AMD has arrived to directly compete against Intel's robust Core i7 9-series 'Nehalem' chips. Code named 'Thuban', the new 3.2GHz AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor introduces with it a dynamic overclocking technology called TurboCore. 95% Rating:
SuperPI
calculates the number PI to 1 Million digits in this raw number crunching
benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the
number of digits of PI that can be calculated from 16 Thousand to 32 Million.
The benchmark, which uses 19 iterations in the test, is set 1 Million digits.
Lower calculation times are better. SuperPi is not multi-threaded.

Since this is a single-threaded test, the AMD Phenom II
X6 1090T processor with TurboCore enabled can ramp some of its cores up to
3.6GHz (from their native 3.2GHz operating speed). This speed boost makes Super
PI calculate about 9% faster on average. Although this speed boost is enough to
make the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T the fastest AMD processor in this benchmark, it
still can't keep up with the single-threaded performance of Intel's fastest
processors.
