AMD Phenom X4 9550 Quad Core Processor Socket AM2 2.2GHZ 4MB Cache 95W
Surprising we sold one of this to an older customer.. whom we didn’t think would know so much about computer. But he was very specific about what he wanted. We sold it for $939 as a full system. If he didn’t buy a whole computer.. we would have sold this for $260.
AMD has come a long way with its original Athlon and Athlon 64 processors and it seems only smart that they now have the next generation product called Phenom. it had actually caused a few buzz and raise expectation of the geeks around the world.
Last November, the first batch of AMD Phenom processor went on sale.. with the 9500 and 9600 models. And because of lagging performance .. AMD was very quick to act and response on it with a price reduction. Although there has been a lot of negativity surrounding the new Phenoms, it is actually quite good overall. From the many reviews that I’ve read, the biggest problem with the processor is that it was not scaling very well. This the Phenom has a even greater challenge in the near future.
