AMD has been busy with their motherboard chipset and processor releases this year. At CES, we took a look at the new Phenom II series beginning with the Phenom II X4 940, which was an AM2+ processor with a lot of attitude and a new level of performance and overclocking ability than we have seen from the Phenom series CPUs. Fast forward a bit, and AMD has been releasing socket AM3 processors, which support the faster DDR3 memory standard. Today we are going to be taking a look at one new AM3 processor, the AMD Phenom II X4 955. The new Phenom II 955 processor takes on the success of the Phenom II 940 and builds on it for faster, bleeding-edge performance. The AMD Phenom II X4 955 is clocked at 3.2GHz, and has a total L2 and L3 cache of 8MB. As with other AM3 processors, the Phenom II 955 can be used in both AM2+ and AM3 motherboards, supporting DDR2 1066MHz and DDR3 1333MHz memory on a 128-bit wide memory controller. Now that I have you drooling, let's move on and look closer at the CPU itself.
