I mentioned last week that some of the details on the coming AMD Phenom II X6 6-core processors had leaked. The processors are code named Thuban and should be hitting market soon. Today pricing for a couple of the X6 processors has turned up online.

The pricing comes by way of online seller Advanti via its Facebook page courtesy of Alienbabletech.com. According to the price leak, the Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition operating at 3.2GHz will sell for $295. The X6 1055T operating at 2.8GHz will sell for $199.

Those are much lower prices that what comparable Intel parts sell for. The Black Edition processor will be multiplier unlocked parts aimed at enthusiasts looking to overclock. Both of the parts have 9MB of cache and operate in a 125W TDP.
