When we earlier reported on the overclock of a new Phenom II X4 model everything pointed to that this processor was a new AM3 model that would be branded Phenom II X4 955. AMD would launch this 3.2GHz model instead of the Phenom II X4 950 model at 3.1GHz we heard about earlier this year. Rumors of a coming Phenom II X4 955 model was further strengthened when German Hardware-infos published specifications and launch date.
Phenom II X4 955 will launch on April 20th and just like the overclocked engineering sample it will operate at 3.2GHz. Except from the clock frequency and the DDR3 memory support the processor is identical to Phenom II X4 940 with 6MB L3 cache and 125W TDP.
The price is land around 250€ but nothing has been confirmed by AMD.
