1090T costs the same as Core i7 930

We simply
love e-tailer slips, as they tell much more than dry press releases from the companies. This time around, our friends from TechReport have dug up a listing by a Bahrain-based e-tailer Advanti on their Facebook page.

The listing says that Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition will arrive priced at $295. This AM3 CPU has a 125W TDP, 9MB of cache and runs at 3.2 GHz.

The second one lists the 1055T, which should arrive priced at $199. This also AM3 CPU comes with a 125W TDP, 9MB of cache and runs at 2.8 GHz.

If the prices are indeed correct, this means that the top of the line Phenom II X6 will set you back as much as Intel’s Core i7 930, which is a 45nm Bloomfield quad core with a 130W TDP, 8MB shared L3 cache and running at 2.80GHz.

A simple online price check reveals that Intel's 32nm six core i7 980X, which boasts a 130W TDP, 12MB shared L3 cache and running at 3.33GHz costs $1,139.99 at Newegg.
