iBUYPOWER has joined CyberPower in updating their gaming desktop PC range with AMD’s new Phenom II X6 hexacore CPUs. The Chimera 2-Q, Gamer Fire and Gamer HAF models all can be specified with the new processor, and prices kick off at $999.
Both the Phenom II X6 1055T and 1090T are on offer – the latter being standard fit on the Killer Chimera 2-Q, from $1,639 – paired with various single and dual graphics cards from ATI. As we saw from reviews earlier today, the new AMD hexacores may pale in comparison to Intel’s Core i7 hexacore when it comes to raw performance, but they’re also considerably cheaper meaning you get a decent overall system for a relatively wallet-friendly price.
As well as gaming, iBUYPOWER reckon the updated PCs would be particularly well suited to multimedia editing; that’s because the six-core CPUs unsurprisingly handle multi-threaded apps particularly well. They’re all available to configure online now.
