If you need or simply crave for a best CPU that AMD makes, at this moment Phenom II X4 955 is your only choice in combination with good 790FX/GX motherboard. Price of this CPU shouldn’t be much higher than X4 940 had few months ago. Compared to X4 9...
Highest Phenom II clock speed yet, AM3 & DDR3 support, Unlocked multiplier, 8MB of total cache, AMD OverDrive 3.0, Excellent price/performance
None
While the X4 955 Black Edition did not make it in time for the initial Phenom II launch, its definitely a welcome addition. The new chip rounds out the Dragon Platform refresh and can now take its place as AMDs new flagship processor. In addition to ...

It has taken AMD more than long enough, but the company is finally in a situation where its processors are competitive in the performance mainstream market segment. The Phenom II X4 955, 945/940 and the Phenom II X3 720 are all very competitive at the...
When we evaluated the Phenom II X4 920 and 940 processors upon their release back in January, we said this in our performance summary, "The new Phenom II X4 920 and 940 are easily the most powerful desktop processors released from AMD to date. They pe...
Not a lot has changed in the CPU scene since AMD launched their original Phenom II X4 processors earlier this year. The Intel Core i7 processors still rule the ranks, while the Core 2 range carries the torch as the Intel mainstream solutions. Then we ...
It only took two months, but AMD finally has a flagship to lead its march forward with Socket AM3. We’re still not looking at a Core i7-killer (or even competitor) here. After all, AMD’s fastest offering isn’t able to match even the slow...
