Ideal for enthusiasts and casual users alike, the AMD processor Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition offers multicore processing power at a budget-friendly price. Featuring four cores running at 3.2 GHz each, the processor blows through all the latest benchmarks. It also features an unlocked multiplier that gives you the option of overclocking the chip for faster performance. Compatible with motherboards with an AM2+ or AM3 socket, the X4 955 will take your PC experience to the next level.
With the
Phenom II X4 series, AMD engineers have combined four cores into a single
processor, giving you enough processing muscle for even the most highly threaded applications. Each core is equipped with 512K L2 cache, and all four cores share 6MB L3 smart cache between them. AMD has also included an ultra-wide, 4000MT/s bandwidth--enough to support all four cores effectively.
The Phenom II X4 also makes use of several other performance-boosting technologies, including:
- HyperTransport Bandwidth: Speeds up communication between the processor and memory, improving overall system performance.
- Integrated Memory Controller: Actively scales bandwidth uses to match your computing needs, dramatically reducing slowdown.
- 128-bit Floating-Point Unit (FPU): Allows processor to execute floating-point calculations with extreme speed.
AMD products are known for their stellar energy efficiency and the Phenom II X4 955 is no exception. The processor features AMD's proprietary PowerNow and CoolCare technology, which allow the processor to smartly regulate its own energy consumption. Having an energy-efficient computer doesn't just help keep costs down; it also generates less heat and helps your computer to run more quietly. It will even prolong your processor's life cycle, so you can enjoy it for years without having to worry about degradation.
The AMD Phenom II X4 955 Quad-Core Processor is backed by a three-year warranty.
