Today, AMD is announcing a new flagship processor, the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition. This is nothing more than a speed bump for the Dragon platform, but all of these speed bumps are starting to add up and the Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition processor runs at an impressive 3.4GHz. The performance should scale predictably and the price of the Phenom II X4 965 BE will be $245, which is what the Phenom II X4 955 was back in May 2009 when it first launched.

Quote: "The AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Processor is a nice addition to their desktop lineup. The fact that the price is the same as the Phenom II X4 955 processor that came out just three months ago might upset a few people, but for the rest of the consumers it means that the prices on all the other processors just went down. AMD has a very impressive processor lineup and if the promised 'bundle discounts' arrive the prices will be just that much sweeter..."
