The forum I review for has also put out a very through review of the 1100T, hope you don't mind me posting a link to our review along with those.
AMD X6 1100T review - PureOC
grt but where does it stands on performance chart when compared to core i 7 9XX
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition Review vs Intel Core i7-950 - Introduction
It's probably hot on the heals of the i7 860, but it's less than $300, so the i7's will still outclass it in most tests, but not by a romp. A Guy
Maybe apples to oranges??
If you're into benching and absolute top performance, then Intel is still the choice, but that does come with a much heftier price tag as a result. On the AMD side, the 1100T is priced about $265, which is a fantastic value. So, the same thing that's been said for quite some time will be repeated here again: for value, AMD has produced another outstanding CPU. If you want the best bang for your buck, you really can't beat a chip like the 1100T.
Value is truly what it all about. If I can get 8/10th's or 9/10th's for a 3rd the price then really is there any questions left to ask? If you're all about PassMark and WEI or achieving some holly grail bragging rights then go for the Intel. The savings on the chip alone allow you to spend monies on other upgrades. Brilliant just brilliant.
Intel's problem is they change motherboard sockets all the time...2 sockets are dead men walking, and a new one for next year....so you have to look at motherboards and ram too....
