AMD FX 6100 6-core AM3+
The six-core, 3.9GHz boost clock and unlocked AM3+ socket made this a budget-friendly option for entry-level multitasking and overclocking in its era. Its 8MB of L3 cache helped offset the Bulldozer architecture's inefficiencies for basic mega-tasking. This processor is best for users maintaining legacy AM3+ systems for non-demanding office work and media playback.
