Bangalore: AMD announced the immediate availability of the AMD Phenom II X6 processor and AMD 890FX chipset that are used for 3D entertainment and visualization. The company also announced the availability of the flagship AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition processor, which is claimed to be AMD's fastest and most tunable desktop processor. AMD Phenom II X6 processors feature new Turbo CORE technology that transfers performance to three dedicated cores operating at higher frequency. AMD Phenom II X6 processors can shift to Turbo mode for demanding games and productivity software which may employ two or three cores, or shift back to six real cores for the demands of core-hungry content creation and immersive 3D applications. "With AMD Phenom II X6 processors, discerning customers can build an incredible, immersive entertainment system and content creation powerhouse," said Bob Grim, Director of Client Platform Marketing at AMD. "AMD is answering the call for elite desktop PC performance and features at an affordable price."
