AMD Phenom II X6

Anybody using something like this processor? I'm looking at building my next desktop and this is looking promising. The cost is much lower than Intel chips. I found a kit on New Egg with it as part of it.

Yes, great chip. I've even got mine OC'd a few hundred MHz. Excellent price/performance. With 8GB rAM this thing is a beast that has yet to be slowed down even with a seamless mode VM running all the time.

I'm waiting for one of my devs to move to a machine like that, to run some comparisons (Right after the deadline whooshes by)

We have one in the office and we carefully chose it based on Tom's hardware guide as it should definitely be equal to or faster than my older Intel quad core system and we've not found that to be the case at all though there are so many variables it's hard to pin down exactly but I'm left with the feeling of "when it matters go intel".

I've got the X4 and it's a screamer so I can just imagine what the X6 will do. Now I've got Core envy.

Remember, it's not the number of cores, but what you do with them!

Try and find benchmarks for your primary usage. It's a tossup if it's faster than than a $200-300 Intel quad depending on the app. Broadly speaking Intel has an advantage on apps that don't scale well across multiple threads or apps that don't have highly optimized hot loops (and thus gain more from HT); but which one is best in any specific case is application specific.
