*Quote:* "AMD first launched the 955 Black Edition and 945 CPUs back in

April both based on the 45nm Phenom II technology. With Intel seemingly

forging ahead in terms of performance with its i7 series, AMD's new

products aim to compete more with Intel's quad-core range and should

offer a cheaper upgrade for users with an AM2+ platform as the AM3 CPUs

are backwards compatible with AM2+ sockets.

The 955 BE, of which we are taking a look at today, is a Black Edition

product, which in effect means that the CPU features a unlocked

multiplier; a huge plus for the overclockers. A dual DDR2 and DRR3

memory controller is also crammed into the chip.

The 900 series of AMD processors are all quad-core CPUs with a 6MB L3

cache, 2MB larger than the 800 series and the stock speed of the 955 BE

was the fastest until it was superseded very recently by the 965 BE

which clocks in at a whopping 3.4GHz. However, today we focus on the

955, let's check it out."
