The First AMD Processor on this list and I think a good one to start AMD with. For the price you are getting an eight core processor. Intel doesn’t really have a CPU that outperforms this processor for the price. What is good about this processor is that it excels at multitasking. While Intel excels at raw gaming power, AMD processors can multi-task better.
