Over the course of a few months in late 2007 and early-to-mid 2008, AMD
unveiled their Spider platform, consisting of AMD-built desktop processors,
chipsets, and graphics cards, and refreshed said platform with faster processors
and graphics cards. Fast forward to today, and AMD is doing the same thing, but
this time with the newer, more powerful Dragon platform. It's like Déjà Vu all
over again, as they say.
Even though some components have been available for much
longer, the complete Dragon platform--consisting of Radeon HD 4000 series
graphics, 7-series chipsets, and Phenom II processors--has been around since
January of this year, when the Phenom II first arrived. Since the initial
launch, AMD has updated the GPU portion of the platform with the Radeon HD 4890,
i.e. RV790, and introduced mainstream socket AM3 processors. And today, AMD ups
the ante yet again with the highest clocked quad-core CPU to be offered by the
company to date, the 3.2GHz Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition.
Grab a fresh cup of coffee and get ready to bunker down
