Today I am looking at the new AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition CPU. This is AMD's new high-end processor running at 3.2GHz. The part carries a very low MSRP that puts it in line with mid-range Intel parts in costs and performance.

The performance from the 955 is impressive and the CPU will be great for those looking to build a PC with good performance without breaking the bank. The CPU supports DDR3 AM3 and AM2+ mainboards.
