People's Processor
10 years ago, the FX chip line was AMD's biggest hit. Since then, AMD has released several not-so-successful models and has continued to keep the FX alive. But when the company announced the entry-level Ryzen series a couple of years ago, it seemed like there was no place for old people here anymore. But AMD did the wiser thing by updating the FX chips and sending them to the low-cost segment.
One of the most attractive options in terms of price and quality ratio among the entire FX family is the FX-4300, which for 3-4 years received the title of "people's" processor. Today it is positioned as a workhorse, but don't be fooled, because it has the legs of a thoroughbred horse: performant even by today's standards, 4 cores with a clock speed of 3.8 GHz are automatically overclocked to 4 GHz, and 4 MB of L3 cache was the norm yesterday for CPU of the average price segment. Plus, the FX-4300 has an unlocked multiplier, making it much easier to overclock.
The foundation for a performant home PC
Perhaps the only minus of the processor is the vague prospects for updating. Although AMD encourages manufacturers to keep the AM3 socket in mind, everyone is looking towards the newer AM4, and there are not as many motherboards supporting the previous platform as they were a couple of years ago. Therefore, here and now, the FX-4300 is primarily good as the basis of a solid home / office computer, which is not required to perform resource-intensive tasks like video rendering or run demanding games.
And don't forget the games
However, all of the above does not mean that games are his kryptonite. In past generation hits like Batman: Arkham City, Battlefield 4 and Resident Evil 5, the FX-4300 paired with a GTX 980-caliber graphics card delivers a stable 90-100 fps at high settings. Considering that most people don't see much of a difference in the graphics between Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1, this is a great result. With very recent games, everything is more difficult, since a lot depends on optimization in them. For example, if "Far Cry 5" at medium settings will work pretty fast, then "Project CARS 2" will noticeably slow down.
