Is AMD Phenom II x4 955 Good For Gaming?

AMD Phenom II

AMD Phenom II x4 955 a family of AMD's multi-core 45 nm processors. AMD Phenom II x4 955 using the AMD K10 microarchitecture, succeeding the first Phenom. Advanced Micro Devices released the Socket AM2+ version of Phenom II in December 2008, while Socket AM3 versions with DDR3 support, alongside an initial batch of triple- and quad-core processors were released on February 9, 2009.

It's not a bad CPU for gaming at 1080p on single monitors. When paired with the proper GPU, it'll still deliver a generally enjoyable gaming experience on the latest games.

For gaming at 1440p on a 3-panel wrap-around immersion gaming setup... it's a processor that should be put out to pasture.

While it's true that GPU will generally have a greater impact on game performance than CPU, there are limits, and the processor in this case serves as a bottleneck that forces slower RAM and provides other bottlenecks to the system.

Is AMD Phenom II x4 955 Good For Gaming?

Like most things, it depends on the gaming experience you're after. I'd generally say that the CPU has a few years of life left in it, but a year or two from now I'd definitely be looking to replace it.

Most recent games are built around "CPU Optimizations", "Multi-Core Optimizations", "AMD Mantle API", "NVIDIA Enhanced DX11" and soon to come DX12, all of these technologies are about to make CPU a secondary consideration for a gaming PC where CPU will have very less impact if it's 4 or more cores.

That being said, the Phenom II X4 955BE may be a specialized processor even today and will handle all games easily. Newer games would demand even more less on the CPU side and more on GPU side
