Review on High-Performance Phenom II X6 1045T 2.70 GHz Processor for Socket AM3 PGA-938 by Mike Pfettscher

Considering the value for money, everything is fine. This appears to offer a slight performance boost for most Adobe CS6 programs. Namely Premier and Photoshop. Surprisingly, most of the speed gains came from upgrading the AMD 5570 GPU to the 6670. Perhaps the GPU has become a major player in desktop media mastering these days. If I had to do it all over again, I'd stick with the quad-core Athlon 2 and opt for a premium Radeon 7000-series card instead of spending over $200 to upgrade two separate components. Well, it runs cool, quiet and a little faster. Perhaps it will serve me well in the years to come.
