AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Review

Manufacturer:AMD
UK price (as reviewed): TBC
US price (as reviewed): $265 (MSRP)

We’ve seen a number of AMD processor revisions over the last few months, with each taking a current processor, giving it a slight speed bump and affixing a shiny new name. Invariably these have been positive moves by AMD, as they have made efforts to keep the pricing of the new processors similar to the chips they replace or supersede. This essentially means customers are getting more performance for the same amount of cash.

Unfortunately, this is only half of the story, as these AMD processor revisions are being released against a backdrop of Intel domination. AMD’s aging K10 architecture, clock for clock, simply can’t compete with Intel’s current range of Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs. It’s with a degree of trepidation, then, that we take a look at AMD’s new flagship Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition CPU.

As our more canny readers may be able to tell, the 1100T BE is a revision of the Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition, meaning the 1100T is a 6-core chip based on AMD’s Thuban design. This design is still rooted in the K10 architecture, but has a number of improvements over AMD’s previous CPUs, most notable of which is AMD’s Turbo Core technology.

This technology is very similar to Intel’s Turbo Boost, as it allows the processor to dynamically overclock one or more of its cores depending on the current usage of the CPU. If only one core is being used, that core should see a significant boost to its speed.

The 1100T BE doesn’t suffer from a lack of raw speed, though, as it’s clocked at a zippy 3.3GHz. With Turbo Core enabled AMD claims the 1100T BE should hit speeds of up to 3.7GHz in single-threaded applications. We saw the CPU attain these speeds when we loaded a single core with Prime95, though it only managed to hold the speed for about 15 seconds at a time. This is presumably because other background Windows applications demanded some CPU time, meaning more than one core was being used.

Overclocking

Our previous overclocking experiences with AMD’s 6-core chips have been pretty variable. Our look at the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition showed the CPU to be a competent, rather than spectacular overclocker, reaching a final clock speed of 3.87GHz. We were hopeful of being able to push the 1100T BE a little further, as AMD’s Thuban die is now more mature, which hopefully means that there should be more overclocking headroom.

Thankfully, the 1100T BE didn’t disappoint, as we were able to push our test chip all the way up to an impressive 4.2GHz. This represents a healthy 900MHz overclock, which is significantly better than the 670MHz overclock that our 1090T BE managed.

To achieve this overclock we raised the HTT to 300MHz and set the CPU multiplier to 14x, but to keep these settings stable we had pump a beefy 1.512V through the CPU. We also raised the CPU/NB voltage to 1.35V and the HT voltage to 1.35V while supplying the Northbridge with 1.3V and the Southbridge with 1.2V.

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Review: The New Six-Core Flagship

AMD knows that we’re impatiently waiting for some traction on Fusion. And while we expect to see its first notebook-oriented Fusion-based processors featured in actual products at CES, we’re still a ways away from seeing the technology in action on the desktop.

In the meantime, AMD is trying to tide us over with a steady stream of frequency bumps. It seems like that has been the case for a while now, but as the company improves its 45 nm manufacturing process, it’s able to reliably get incrementally more headroom to boost performance—even if it’s only bit by bit. This strategy isn’t viable long term, of course, especially in the face of Sandy Bridge launching in January at CES, aiming for the same mainstream market. It tided the company over in 2010, though, allowing it to offer excellent prices on processors that performed very well, despite Intel’s lock on the high-end segment.

Hello, Thuban…

Perhaps the best part of this approach is that, every time AMD introduced a new model over the last year, the faster processors have adopted the MSRP of the models they replace. This time is no different, and the result is a wave of price drops dribbling down the Athlon II and Phenom II product lines.

Once Sandy Bridge hits, AMD is going to have a hard time leaning on its current approach. We’re simply expecting too much pressure on its higher-end models from Intel’s LGA 1155 lineup. For now, the Athlon II and Phenom II processors remain viable options for enthusiasts looking for plenty of performance without dropping a lot of cash. Remember, we still don’t have official pricing on the Sandy Bridge parts, so it could turn out that AMD retains its value proposition moving into 2011.

This time around, AMD is refreshing the Athlon II X3, Phenom II X2, and Phenom II X6 families. Even the Thuban-based six-core X6 can overclock up to 4 GHz relatively easily. So, it’s not a stretch to expect another speed bump or two from some of AMD’s lower-clocked parts as we traverse through the next year, even once Bulldozer-based parts start shipping.

Knowing that day is coming, is it worth sinking money into a new Socket AM3 platform now? Both Intel and AMD are gearing up for a next-generation battle, after all. Let’s take a closer look.

This is already the fourth and, most likely, the last article on the Socket AM3 platform this year. In the previous ones, we evaluated the possibility of running current and not very games on 3-core and 4-core representatives of the Athlon II and Phenom II lines. Now it’s time to test the flagship 6-core AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition .

If the first 4-core Phenoms for AM3 appeared at the beginning of 2009, then the release of the top 6-core Phenom had to wait almost 2 years — until December 2010. It is based on a 45nm Thuban die with a base frequency of 3300MHz, dynamic overclocking to 3700MHz, and 6MB of L3 cache with a 125W TDP.

Integrated RAM controller supports DDR2-1066 and DDR3-1333 modules in 2-channel mode. There is still no support for SSE4.1 and higher instructions, so some games could not be launched, but more on that later. nine0003

Now a few words about the test bench. It is based on the ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Killer motherboard, designed for Socket AM3+, but working perfectly with AM3 chips.

16 GB of RAM in 2-channel mode was enough for the tests. Used kit series G.SKILL TridentX . In nominal terms, it worked with a frequency of 1333 MHz and timings of 9-9-9-24.

We planned to overclock the processor, and immediately stocked up with a beautiful, efficient and almost quiet 2-section dropsy Cougar AQUA 240 . It was beautiful and efficient right out of the box thanks to the bright RGB lighting on the waterblock and a pair of 120mm fans. But you can’t call it quiet from the start, but by simple manipulations in the BIOS, you can reduce the speed to the region of 1200-1300 rpm so that it does not disturb your acoustic comfort.

The operating system, benchmarks, games and all other necessary programs fit on a pair of terabyte SSD PATRIOT P200 .

We have one requirement for a video card — not to limit the potential of the processor. Under this condition, the Palit GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER GameRock is perfect. The TU104-450 GPU can run any games in Full HD even without factory overclocking, and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory reduces the load on RAM in optimized projects.

The power calculator shows that a quality 650W power source will be optimal for such a system. This is exactly what we looked after from the very beginning — this is Seasonic FOCUS PX-650 with 80PLUS Platinum certification. Japanese capacitors, modern circuitry, reliable fan, 10-year warranty, a full list of protections, modular cables — and this is not the whole list of its advantages.

All components fit quickly and easily into the RIOTORO CR1288TG Full Tower. In addition to spaciousness and LED-backlight, it pleases with good ventilation. Most of the panels are littered with perforations, and the package includes two 140mm fans for the front and one 120mm for the back. nine0003

Monitor Philips Brilliance 329P9H helped with displaying the image. And an external system with AVerMedia Live Gamer 4K coped with recording gameplay without loss of performance.

First of all, first of all, overclocking, but we’ll leave the games for later! True, the result was not very high. The stable operation of the processor was achieved at a frequency of 3960 MHz. To do this, we raised the system bus frequency by 40 MHz, simultaneously increasing the CPU Voltage, the frequency of the north bridge, and a number of other parameters. RAM was accelerated to 1600 MHz. nine0003

In this mode, there was not the slightest hint of throttling or stability issues when passing the AIDA64 stress test. The maximum temperature of the processor cores rose to 53°C. True, the cooling system was noisy, but in games it was easier.

On the spot, we ran several synthetic benchmarks to compare performance gains. Read, write and copy data operations using RAM have accelerated by 9-13% according to AIDA64 . Access latency decreased by 16%.

The increase in CineBench R15 was about 20%. If in nominal value the test Phenom II slightly outperforms the Ryzen 3 1200, then after overclocking it is already ahead of the Ryzen 3 2200G and is approaching the Core i3-8100. This is the grandfather of the grandchildren punished!

The CPU-Z reports an 8% and 20% bonus for single and multi-threaded mode, although this did not really affect the results of the comparison with the A10-7850K APU.

We are getting closer to the gaming test, from which we are separated by the last step — comparison in benchmarks. World of Tanks EnCore RT felt overclocked and increased the results by a maximum of 43%. As a result, you can try your luck with a higher quality preset, which we did next.

In Shadow of the Tomb Raider the bonus was at the same level — a maximum of 44%. This allowed the statistics of rare and very rare events to leave the danger zone below 24 FPS.

In Gears 5 , the increase was the lowest — up to 25%, but even with it we get a more stable and smooth video sequence, with a margin for difficult locations.

Overall, overclocking improves system performance by 30%. This is very important and useful for such an ancient model, because every FPS counts.

That’s it, the aperitif is over — let’s move on to the main course! Some games started well on the 4-core AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE, so we decided to skip them.

Dota 2 at maximum quality settings was slightly lag — I had to go down a step back to the high preset. The average speed rose above 80 fps, and in the column 0.1% Low below 25 FPS was not seen. Nothing disturbed the comfort of the gameplay.

In War Thunder , you can immediately select a high preset and go into battle for the scalps of opponents, although along the way you can lose your own — it’s already how lucky. In technical terms, there were no problems, there was not even a smell of friezes and jamming. nine0003

In World of Tanks , at a high preset, statistics are lower than in Tundra, especially for rare and very rare events, but it is still comfortable to play even on a light tank. Perhaps someone will not be satisfied with about 30 FPS in the column of very rare events. In this case, there is an average profile.
