ncix.com I've already done the 1090T. Now comes its younger brother the 1055T
The video presents a concise unboxing and first-look at the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T six-core processor for the AM3 socket, following Linus Tech Tips’ earlier coverage of the 1090T Black Edition. Linus notes that the 1055T is a true six-core chip clocked at 2.8 GHz with Turbo to 3.3 GHz, capable of dynamically scaling three cores up to 3.3 GHz while deactivating the remaining three to stay within AMD’s thermal specs. He highlights compatibility and upgrade paths, emphasizing that the AM3 socket provides a drop-in replacement with broad motherboard support through BIOS updates, including both DDR2 and DDR3 memory. The unboxing reveals the CPU, its stock heat sink with copper base and heat pipes, the case badge, authenticity certificate, warranty terms, and an installation guide showing AM2, AM2+, and AM3 compatibility. The video closes with a quick note about an upcoming overclocking guide to push the 1055T to 4 GHz across six threads and a reminder that the 1055T uses a socket with around 941 pins. Overall, the video combines hands-on hardware presentation with practical notes about installation and future performance outreach.
