SpecPicks scored AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2GHz Quad-Core AM3 CPU Part 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.
