this is the kind of CPU you can use if you require significant amount of processing, it is very good for video processing with many filters, sound engineering with lots of plug-ins, and pretty much any task that uses heavily multi-threaded operations, the CPU provides 6 real cores, more than the competition (which provides only 4 real cores but adds another 4 fake cores), it performs better than 2010-2016 generations of AMD CPUs (bulldozer), the icing on this cake is the user is free to change the speed of this CPU and adjust their own power/performance threshold to fit their requirements. however, because the CPU provides 6 cores on a 45 nm process, thermal management becomes a real challenge, without a doubt this is one of the hottest CPUs ever designed by AMD (rated at 140W thermal design power - the CPU can release up to 140 watts of power in the form of heat) and as such successful and long-lasting operation will significantly depend on the cooling system of the computer, not just the cooling of the CPU itself but one has to take care to provide cooling to the MOSFETs and the capacitors near the CPU socket. in addition, because the CPU can use alot of power, it is recommended to use 8-pin ATX12V motherboards, be advised that while 4-pin ATX12V motherboards will be able to function within specifications under normal operating conditions, some applications may cause increased CPU power requirements which cause increase in temperatures of the MOSFETs which may cause their power conversion efficiency to drop - resulting in increase power drain from the ATX12V connector, if you have a 4-pin ATX12V motherboard and you are running parallel CPU-intensive tasks it is recommend to reduce (in software or in hardware) the total number of used cores in order to prevent the risk of damage to any of the computer's components (especially at high ambient temperatures).Read full review

Still a good budget CPU for older games. May stutter in newer ones though. Can be power hungry but runs cool with a decent air cooler during gaming. Temps never exceed 45C even on a warm day. Can play YouTube videos up to 1440p no problem with just an entry level GPU. Can definitely run Windows 11 by adding a couple of simple registry keys if using a bootable USB flash drive during a clean install method. See YouTube video: "How To Bypass Windows 11 TPM 2.0 Installation Requirement | How to Fix This PC can´t run Windows 11". Worked for me as of 11/16/2021.

The AMD Phenom II X6 1090T is a 6 core processor that gives you the performance similar to an I7-2600 and can use the cheap "high density" memory. This was a great setup for kid gaming instead of paying the higher prices.

Product works great😊 item was as described, and the product was very good packed. This cpu is old, i paired it with a gtx 1050ti just for testing. It was fun to see what my old motherboard could do with the max cpu it could handle for its time😊

Upgrade with AMD Phenom II 1090T CPU infused new life into my aging desktop PC (Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H), I'm sure I'll continue to use this PC for years. All operations now faster. AMD Phenom II 550 was replaced. All pros, no cons!
