While the Intel contingent predictably had higher peak values for both integer and floating point performance in this benchmark, the focus was on how the Phenom II X6 performed relative to the quad-core Phenom II X4 965. The X6 1090T however failed to show a significant improvement over the 965 for both. Moving onto the integer rate results, the 1090T managed to stay competitive with the Intel Core i7-930, but not in floating-point rate results. However, the AMD 6-cores both showed improvement over the Phenom II X4 965 at 8-user workloads, which does prove that there is some value in having more cores if you have highly threaded workloads.
