What happens to the X4 940, then? At this point, nothing, but there's little doubt that it will be wiped off the roadmap eventually, especially as DDR3 modules have become more affordable than ever. AMD also released a new budget part last month, the Athlon X2 7850. This Dual-Core chip clocks in at 2.8GHz, and at ~$70, it's a great value.
If you're wondering what took us so long to get this 955 article up, you're not alone. And while it's not a valid excuse, I lost track of it while working on other things, so apologies for the late posting. As the 955 is still AMD's flagship processor though, a late review is still entirely relevant (*phew*).
Before we jump into a look at the processor, one important thing to point out is AMD's push on their Dragon platform, which consists of a CPU, GPU, motherboards and software. No other company currently offers such a complete package of parts to the consumer, so their bragging rights are valid (things will change once Intel's Larrabee hits, although its impact is obviously yet to be seen).
