With the AMD Phenom II X6 series releasing tomorrow, AMD's CPU line-up is set for shuffle. AMD's new flagship, as expected, will be the Phenom II X6 1090T BE, which is a 3.2 GHz six-core CPU with Turbo Core of 3.6 GHz. It is expected to be priced in the $300 range, a direct competitor to Intel's cheapest Core i7 800 series CPU. The other two Phenom II X6 at release will be the 1035T and the 1055T. The 1055T, 2.8 GHz, is expected to be priced against the Core i5 750 at $200, with the 1035T ending up sub-$200. The gap between the 1055T and the 1090T will be filled by the 1075T, 3.0 GHz, 3.5 GHz Turbo, in Q3 2010.

The other new product - Phenom II X4 900T series - is being shifted back to Q3 2010. The 960T will be clocked at 3.0 GHz, with 3.4 GHz Turbo Core and is nothing but a Thuban six-core CPU with two cores disabled.

The Phenom II X4 900 series, based on the native quad core, will continue to sell parallel to the 900T series.
