AMD FX-8000 Series FX-8350 8-core Socket AM3+
72 out of 100 medium confidence 23 reviews
The AMD FX-8350 is a solid budget processor that performs well for gaming and everyday tasks, especially as an upgrade from older FX models. Users praise its value for the price, strong overclocking potential with good cooling, and the included Wraith cooler. However, some experienced bent pins on delivery, and a few noted compatibility issues with large coolers or that modern alternatives like Ryzen offer better upgrade paths.

Cons
