It's decent enough. Most chips can overclock up to 4.0GHz and keep up with modern processors fairly well. In games which leverage all 6 cores I've found it to be almost as good as an i5-2500K at the same clocks, but it does fall behind somewhat in single-threaded games. Still pretty good though.

thinking about switching out my Athlon 760k for a different processor to tie me down until 2016.. so I found the Phenom ii x6 1090t. I was not around for am2 so I am very unknowledgeable about the socket and this cpu specifically. How does this processor hold up for gaming and a little productivity/multitasking?
