AMD's next-generation Leo platform powered by AMD's fist hexa-core processors, "Phenom II X6", are headed for desktops. The new chips will come in three flavors: Phenom II X6 1035T, 1055T, and 1075T. To compensate for the relatively low clock speeds and optimize resources, AMD's six-core processors will reportedly have some form of dynamic speed boost technology called "C-state performance boost." Much like Intel's Turbo Boost, C-state performance should kick in when single-thread performance is needed most, automatically disabling idle cores and overclocking the remaining engines to the maximum possible level. Thuban processors are expected to be compatible with AM2+ and AM3 motherboards, presumably following a BIOS update.

 

BIOSTAR motherboards are fully compatible with Phenom II X6 core processors, please find the supporting model list as below.
