All the focus right now is on Intel's upcoming Sandy Bridge architecture and AMD's Bulldozer cores, but hey, there's still some life left in today's architectures, too. Within the next couple of months or so, AMD will beef up its Phenom II X6 line with a couple of new additions.
On the six-core front, AMD plans to release the Phenom II X6 1100T and 1065T. The 1100T will rank as AMD's new flagship part with a clockspeed of 3.30GHz (Turbo Speed 3.70GHz), 9MB of cache, and a 125W TDP.
The 1065T, on the other hand, will sit about halfway down AMD's hexacore totem pole, but will be the fastest six-core part with a 95W TDP. It will come clocked at 2.90GHz (Turbo Speed 3.40GHz) and also contain 9MB of cache.
Both of these processors take aim at the high performance crowd, while a new flagship quad-core chip is also in the works.

I am more than satisfied with my Phenom II X2 555 BE. It should last me another two years, then the 6 cores should be cheaper or the 8 cores should be out. Go AMD!

...are the genius kinda people I like. xD. I was thinking the same exact thing as you were. I have an x4 cpu and was going to wait for a long while til hexacores dropped in price. Upgrade my mobo, cpu, and ram at the same time.

dittos to blues except rdr I'd never have bought a mismanufactured processor lol.
Phenom II X4 945 is basically the only AMD processor I can recommend & that's only when the Core i5-650 is completely out of the question for a combination of budget && time reasons
