ASUS M4 motherboards get AMD Phenom II X6 compatibility (now we just need the CPUs)


AMD may be trying to keep a lid on their upcoming hexacore AMD Phenom II X6 processors, but ASUS are just too excited about their motherboards to play along. The company has announced which motherboards in its range will be compatible with the new processors – codenamed Thuban – thanks to a new batch of BIOS updates.

The Phenom II X6 chips are expected to offer a lower-cost alternative to Intel’s recent hexacore processor, the potent Core i7-980X Extreme. Pricing details from earlier in the week suggested that the AMD range would kick off at 4199 for the 2.8GHz X6 1055T, while the 3.2GHz Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition chip should come in at $295.

ASUS M4 motherboards should also take advantage of the Phenom II X6’s overclocking abilities, using the Core Unlocker functionality. According to one set of rumors, AMD will announce the new six-core processors on April 26th.
