FINAL RESULT

COMMENT - "The AMD Phenom II X4 955 puts in a good show against the AMD Athlon II X4 645. The AMD Phenom II X4 955 has some serious advantage over the AMD Athlon II X4 645 such as the AMD Phenom II X4 955 having a 6MB L3 Cache. The 100Mhz Clock Speed advantage for the AMD Phenom II X4 955 over the AMD Athlon II X4 645 is only 4% which is nothing. The 6MB Level 3 Cache showed it's worth with the Games Performance which the AMD Phenom II X4 955 clearly won. However the other Benchmarks to Test the Raw Processing Performance of the AMD Phenom II X4 955 showed a much smaller difference with the AMD Athlon II X4 645. Don't get me wrong the AMD Phenom II X4 955 is a very good Processor but if you don't use Games then the cheaper AMD Athlon II X4 645 is the one to get."

AMD PHENOM II X4 955 SCORES 9/10!
