AMD FX-8000 Series FX-8350 8-core Socket AM3+
The 32nm Vishera-based FX-8350 stands out with its eight integer cores and unlocked multiplier for aggressive overclocking, bundled with the notably quiet Wraith Cooler. Its 8MB of L3 cache and high 4.2GHz boost clock provide a straightforward upgrade path on legacy AM3+ motherboards. This processor is best for budget-conscious builders maintaining older systems for basic mega-tasking and entry-level 3D modeling.
