AMD Phenom II X6 1075T 

If the CPU finds itself in a condition where 3 or more cores are idle, the processor will activate the Turbo CORE technology and boost the active three cores to 3.5GHz improving performance on lightly threaded workloads.

In fact, the new Phenom II X6 1075T is probably the best sub-£200 chip on the market when it comes to highly threaded apps.

With that we were able to increase the FSB to 278MHz for a rock solid overclock of 1170MHz which is a 39% overclock.

We were able to see a 2.5% increase at 1280x1024 and .6% at 1920x1080.

Overall we were able to knock off over 76 seconds or 27.6% of the total time from the 1024 million test.

To break the 4GHz barrier we did need to add a bit of voltage, though it only needed to be raised to 1.45 Volts.

In the near future many more applications may start to take advantage of having more cores.

AMD's six-core Thuban processor has been a TechRadar favourite since launch back in April.

The cores might be old.

While it may not seem like a whole lot, every last megahertz helps performance.

Benchmark Results: The AMD Phenom II 1075T didn't so as well as I had hoped in PCMark Vantage.

It offers great performance on lightly threaded applications and excelled at heavily threaded applications thanks to having a true six core design.

Like all of the AMD retail processors the AMD Phenom II X6 1075T is backed by a three year warranty, this will give you piece of mind that your shiny new processor will last and give you hours of endless enjoyment whether it's gaming or that four letter word that starts with w and ends with ork!

Benchmark Results: The AMD Phenom II X6 1075T was able to out perform its predecessor the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T by ~7.1% in all of the Multi-Media Processor tests.

In the mean time, the Phenom II X6 1075T still makes a strong argument for itself when it comes to multi-threaded applications.
