AMD Phenom II X4 955 CPU Coming on April 20th

AMD was planning to launch 3.1GHz Phenom II X4 950 in Q2 according to our previous source, but Phenom II X4 955 is said to replace it as the fastest AMD CPU.

Phenom II X4 955 has employed 45nm processing and Socket AM3. Clocked at 3.2GHz (16*200MHz), it’s coming with 2MB (4*512KB) L2 Cache and 6MB L3 Cache. With 125W TDP, Phenom II X4 955 is said to be launched on April 20th.

Phenom II X4 950 at 3.1GHz to rise in Q2

AMD officially announced its 45nm processor Phenom II Series on January 8th, and there were only two models of CPU at that time, that is Phenom II X4 920 of 2.8 GHz and Phenom II X4 940 of 3.0GHz.
Expected to be released in Q2 this year, Phenom II X4 950 only offers 100MHz higher clock (improved from 3.0GHz to 3.1GHz). The other specs of Phenom II X4 950 are the same as that of Phenom II X4 920/940: 8MB total cache, 125W TDP and Socket AM2+. For now, the M.S.R.P of Phenom II X4 940 is $275. Considering changes of market condition, Phenom II X4 950 should be priced lower when it actually reaches store.

AMD 3.1 GHz Phenom II for Q2

AMD will have a busy year, following the release of two 45nm desktop CPUs, the Phenom II X4 940 BE and X4 920, it will also introduce the first DDR3-supporting Phenoms - six starting February. Following the initial AM3 roll-out, in Q2 AMD is expected to up the ante and put more pressure on Intel's Core 2 Quads with the release of the Phenom II X4 950, an AM3 CPU that will be clocked at 3.1 GHz, 100 MHz more than the X4 940 and 945.

Likely to be priced close around the $300 mark, the Phenom II X4 950 will have a dual-channel DDR3-1333 integrated memory controller, 6MB of L3 cache and a TDP of 125W. The 950 certainly won't get AMD much closer to the performance crown but it should give us an alternative to Intel's Q9650.
