AMD FX-8150

The AMD FX-8150 offers 8 cores and 16 threads. It drops into the AM3+ socket with a 125W TDP — about 15.6W per core. 8MB of L3 cache helps in cache-sensitive games and workloads. Clocks span 3.6GHz base to 3.6GHz boost. Match the socket to your motherboard first; cooler TDP rating second.
