Techradar posted a review on the AMD FX-4300 processor

The last few months have left me with a rather positive feeling towards AMD. It's the plucky little upstart, which is trying to maintain some competitiveness against the might of Intel, and with the Piledriver update to its CPU lineup we're seeing some decent little budget chips.

The FX-4300, though, is really testing that goodwill because I'm struggling to figure out what the point of it is.

The original Bulldozer FX-4170 had the same dual-module, quad-core make-up and ran at an industry-leading 4.2GHz straight out of the box. I was also able to push it up to about 5GHz with some fairly rudimentary overclocking.
