so I recently unboxed the AMD phenom 2 x6 1090 T Black Edition and now I'm going to be doing it's little brother the x6 1055 T this is not a Black Edition processor but it's not a you know purple not as strong addition process or either this is still a 6 core processor it's clocked a little bit slower than the ten nine eighty at 2.8 gigahertz and up to three point three gigahertz in turbo core mode so that means that when you're running anywhere from one to three software threads it's going to clock three CPUs with the okay three cores up to three point three gigahertz and then it'll take the other three and clock them down in order to stay within the thermal specifications that AMD set out for this processor okay so like they're saying here it's a true six core design with nine Meg's of total cache it uses socket am3 which means that it is a drop-in replacement this is one of the most impressive things about this processor into existing am3 motherboards so it has support for both ddr2 and ddr3 and there are supposedly over a hundred boards at launch that with just a BIOS update they will support the brand new six core processors AMD has really done a terrific job with their engineering team making sure that their new processors will work in their old boards so the ten 55t includes the same heatsink by default as the ten ninety you can see it uses a copper slab at the bottom it's got heat pipes soldered if you want more details on the heatsink I guess you could watch the other video it's got fins here and it has a sixty millimeter fan that's pretty much all there is to really say about it next we have AMD's documentation oh and we have a phenom 2 case badge very nice I like it okay then we have AMD certificate of authenticity as well as their warranty terms and we have insta how to recognize AMD sockets that's pretty useful so they show you everything from socket 754 up to socket F 1207 all right if we unfold this you'll see that we have an installation guide for how to install the CPU and the heatsink so here's the 1 4 a.m. 2 a.m. 2 plus and am 3/8 steps pretty straightforward if you've ever installed a cpu before you shouldn't have too much trouble with it and now let's have a look at the CPU itself I apologize for going through a little bit quickly on this one but the cameraman has an important social event that he has to attend so I don't want to I don't want to keep him for too much longer here so here is the Phenom 2 X 6 955 t I will did I say 955 I meant 1055 t I will actually be doing an overclocking guide featuring this exact processor where I take the sample that I received and turn it all the way up to 4 gigahertz 6 threads so stay tuned for that here is your am-3 socket with I believe it's nine hundred and forty-one pins as I recall and thank you for checking out my unboxing of the AMD Phenom 2 x6 six core processor this is the 1050 5t
