AMD Thuban core
AMD Thuban core was launched in April 2010 in Phenom II X6 1055T
and 1090T microprocessors. The core is built on K10
microarchitecture, and it packs 6 CPU cores on a single die.
Since its introduction Thuban core was used in all other members of
Phenom II X6 family. It was also utilized as a base of Zosma core,
that has two out six CPU cores locked.
New core features:
- Six CPU cores on a single die.
- Turbo Core technology. This feature can boost frequency of
active CPU cores, when three or more cores are idle.
Thuban-based Phenom II microprocessors can be identified by:
- Part number: OEM part numbers start with "HD" and end with
"6DGR". Box part numbers start with "HD" and end with "GRBOX".
Examples: HDT55TWFK6DGR, HDT90ZFBGRBOX
- CPU ID: CPU identification number of Thuban processors is 100FA0.
Please note that the same CPUID is returned by CPUs with Zosma core.
