As noted on the previous page, Phenom II processors do not perform well when testing with WinRAR. As you can see, the hexa-core processors perform much like the Phenom II X4 965, which is considerably slower than the Core i5 750. Our custom Photoshop CS5 benchmark measures the time it takes for the radial blur filter to be applied to an 88MP image and is able to fully utilize six cores, or in the case of the Core i7 processors, eight threads. The Phenom II X6 1100T didn’t prove to be a great deal faster than the 1055T, let alone the 1090T. However, the six-core Phenom II processor were significantly quicker than the four-core Phenom II X4 965. The X6 1100T was 34% faster than the X4 965 and 15% faster than the Core i5 750, but it failed to surpass the mighty Core i7 processors. The X6 1100T was 21% slower than the Core i7 930 and 50% slower than Intel’s six-core processor.
