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...
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...

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...
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...
