Edited for changing my mind.
They're nice but not quite enough reason for me to ditch my 955.

seems the 1090T performs better with multicore support, even with intel's hyperthreading

Power Supply: (Antec)BP550|550w
GFX Card: (PNY)GTX 460|800-1600-4000 biggest GTX 460 dud OCer
Motherboard: (Gigabyte)P35-DS3R |P35|

Ayn Rand is the author for people who want to act like complete douche-bags, but don't have the balls to just admit that they are douche-bags.
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Looks like i need to save up a little.
obviously not a huge improvement from a 940 but still, i just want it for bragging rights

how would you rate this compared to a 750 or 860?
is the extra 100$ totally worth spending for 2 more cores?

Has a hard time competing with the 4core 8 thread chips at similar clock speeds. It does however show large gains over the Phenom 4 core chips. I can't believe the pricing though for 6 cores at 300 bucks is amazing.
Against the 860 nope I dont think its worth the money since you are running 8 threads verses 6 in programs that support multiple threads.

IMO its a tough call. The biggest issue we have right now is nothing really uses all the cores yet. For future proofing its a good idea but performance wise I dunno I am kinda leaning towards some of the quads but thats mehow would you rate this compared to a 750 or 860?

there's my 920 @ 4Ghz, the 1090T scores 5.2 stock & 6.2 @ 4.1Ghz
just for comparison (since the review only had a 920 @ stock clocks)
