With the Phenom II X6 1075T, AMD introduces a third hexa-core chip into its lineup, positioned between the Phenom II X6 1055T (2.8GHz) and the Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition (3.2GHz).

Benchmark scores for the 1075T aren’t mind-blowing, but the processor makes up for it in overclocking capability. Even though it’s not a Black Edition chip and therefore has a locked multiplier, we cranked the 1075T up to 3.63GHz by doing nothing more than upping the HT frequency to 242MHz.

In other words, the 1075T can handle some heavy lifting, which is exactly what a hexa-core processor should be able to do.

Priced at just $245, the 1075T makes a strong case for itself, considering the price/performance ratio between AMD and the competition. Further, because it’s compatible with AM3/AM2+ sockets, you can enter into the age of six cores for very little overhead if you already have a Dragon platform system.
