At the end of the day, AMDs Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition processor stacks up as direct competition for Intels Core i7 920 processor. AMD has come a long way from the launch of the original Phenom CPU, and this 3.2GHz socket AM3 chip has thrust the...
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

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 ...
I am actually a bit surprised that it has taken so long for AMD to bring the X4 945 and X4 955 to market. While the X4 940 was obviously the flagship of the Deneb line until now, it was strictly limited to AM2+ setups, leaving the AM3 market a little...

So that’s how the Phenom II X4 955 stacks up in synthetic benchmarks. Number crunchers can rejoice. We regret not being able to include DDR2 test numbers for the chip at this time. Hopefully MSI will release a new BIOS for our board soon. We’ll be sur...
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 ...
Outperformed by Intels high end parts, but much, much cheaper by comparison
After going through the benchmarks its clear that the AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE offers a lot of bang for your buck. The AMD part wont best many of the Intel CPUs that sit in the high range, but it competes very well with Intel parts in its price class....
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...
