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...
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...

which ought to be fairly straightforward. The performance contest between the Phenom II X4 955 and the Core 2 Quad 9550 is crazy close, and even the X4 955s one apparent weakness, a higher power/thermal rating, turned out to be a non-issue in our te...
From a pure price/performance standpoint, AMD is certainly competing hard. The X4 955 BE closely matches Intels Q9550, but with a smaller price-tag. One must also consider the motherboards available especially if gaming is not an issue. Full-sized AM...
Make no mistake, AMD has another solid part on their hands. The Phenom II X4 955 performs up to expectations, it does not consume all that much more power than previous versions, and the updates to the clockspeeds and DDR-3 memory make it a much more...
Affordable, Reverse Compatible, Uses both DDR2 or DDR3 RAM (WIth AM2 (DDR2) or AM3 (DDR3) boards), Overclockable, Cool n Quiet 3.0 Works,
No Real Performance Increase between DDR2 and DDR3 Systems
There have been a couple of years where I could honestly say I was concerned with the direction AMD was going. Technology and innovation seemed to be stagnant. We had nothing really new to experience and I had wondered why the Phenom I was launched at ...
Great Price/Performance, Nice Overclocking Headroom, Responds Well To Advanced Cooling Methods, Best Performance From AMD Weve Seen To Date, Very Stable When Overclocked Properly, Fun To Overclock Black Editions, Entire Top End Dragon Platform Cheaper Tha...
Hasnt Caught Up To Intel Core i7
The Phenom 2 X4 955 BE offers great performance at a good price. You can use your existing AM2+ board and DDR2 ram then upgrade to AM3 and DDR3, making it an even better choice in economic hard times. If we had to place it inline with current Intel of...

The bottom line is that with the Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition, like the 940, AMD has developed yet another great processor and more importantly positioned it competitively in an area that needed it. Its not the definitive choice - we still think cru...
The Phenom II X4 955 & X4 945 processors are certainly a welcome addition to the AMD lineup. AMD is just starting with socket AM3 so it should be a solid investment for drop-in CPU upgrades. With the recent launch of the Radeon HD 4890 video card, and...
