This CPU is still very capable for its age. It is a four core-four thread CPU that works very well for productivity. It even can edit videos and live stream with a background CPU of about 40%. I have it set up in an old church computer paired with 16GB of ram and an SSD used for live streaming church services and it surprisingly performs very well when streaming with OBS Studio. If you have an older prebuilt with this CPU, it is still very well capable. [May '23AsianPCGeek]
At nearly five years of age the AMD Phenom II X4 965 has been included in the CPU group test primarily as a reference. This hugely successful CPU from AMD has been one of the most popular gaming PC's of all time. With superb Single threaded, and therefore real-world performance, the X4 was able to compete with Intel's first generation of Core chips in terms of raw processing power and it did so at a lower price point. Today of course the X4 processor has been far surpassed by Intel's third and fourth generation Core processors. [Feb '12CPUPro]
