The review is in, we've even overclocked it to nearly 5GHz, but AMD's FX line of chips remains an enigma. Fast when given just the right kind of app to chew on, general performance has left many somewhat bemused and nonplussed at AMD's latest CPU foray.
This week's question is disarmingly simple: would you consider any AMD FX chip for your next upgrade? We urge you to think about the entire stack, running from the FX-4100 to the reviewed FX-8150, before passing judgement. Think about it objectively, removing hyperbolic sentiment, and give us the reasons for and against AMD's latest microarchitecture. Did we all expect too much, perhaps?
Heck, even if you don't take particular shine to the FX, there's always the super-tasty competition to enter. What say you?
