AMD FX 8320E 8-core AM3+
The 95W TDP on this 8-core FX-8320E delivers a notable efficiency gain over standard 125W AM3+ chips while maintaining a 4.0GHz boost clock. Its unlocked multiplier on the mature Socket AM3+ platform offers accessible overclocking for budget-conscious builders with existing compatible motherboards.
