Although AMD hasn't had much recent success at the higher end (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/23/amd-fx-8350-review-roundup/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) of the processor spectrum, it's clear the company is very much interested in attacking the budget realm. Witness its two new lower-tiered FX-series (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/23/amd-fx-processor-refresh/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) processors: the quad-core FX-4350 and six-core FX-6350 bring noticeable (if modest) improvements over the FX-4300 and FX-6300 chips they effectively replace. Both unlocked CPUs up the base clock speed to 3.9GHz, while the Max Turbo speeds jump to a respective 4.3GHz and 4.2GHz each. The FX-4350 further trumps its ancestor by doubling the Level 3 cache to 8MB, albeit with a higher power draw. More importantly, prices aren't budging much at all in spite of the brisker performance. When the FX-4350 and FX-6350 cost just $122 and $132 each, they're cheap enough that DIY builders shouldn't weep when the bills are due.
