The first measurements are from the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor

Information about AMD's six cores is leaking almost on a regular basis.

AMD recently reported on the Turbo Core process. For multi-core processors, this is an extremely useful capability, as we can see in the tangible evidence below.

Test machine:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
Motherboard: MSI 890GM-G65 V1.2 BIOS
Memory: OCZ DDR3-1333 1G × 2
Power supply: Coolermaster UCP-1100w

 

The first measurements from the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor 1

Observe the clock signal (Core Speed), the core voltage (Core VID) and the multiplier (Multiplier)

The first measurements from the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor 2

You should know about the Super Pi test program that it only "runs on one thread", so the "Turbo Core" can be activated here. Let's review the changes in the specifications highlighted above. The voltage has increased significantly, but this is not a problem, since the load on only one processor core is significant. Thanks to the exponential increase, the clock signal went up to 3300 MHz, and with this we got some acceleration.

With CineBench 11.5 being a modern application capable of Phenom II X6 1055T full resource. Here, a possible clock rise would result in the TDP frame being exceeded. It is worth noting that with the above score, a Intel Core i7-860, which is not bad.
