It uses about as much power as a heavily overclocked i7-990X, its gaming performance is similar to a non-overclocked sandy i5, it is compatible with new FX motherboards which means you can use USB 3 and SATA III

Hey everyone,

Looking at picking up some cheap second hand pc parts and have found a amd phenom 1055T with a motherboard, 8gb ram and a motherboard for around $150. But I don't know AMD cpu's/ motherboards really well, performance wise and power usage wise how does this cpu stack up against intel cpu's from it's era?
 

Also any info on AMD cpu's, sockets, chipset features (usb 3, SATA, PCI-E) would be great!

Cheers,
