SpecPicks scored AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz Dual Core 1MB Socket 939 Processor using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro cpus category. AMD's retro cpus lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
