Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD FX-6200, a processor from the Zambezi family, was a notable option upon its introduction. It was based on the Bulldozer architecture. Manufactured in a 32nm process, it featured six processing cores. That was then a strong argument for users with parallel workloads. We often saw it as an accessible choice for systems.

It could handle more than just basic tasks. Another positive feature was its 8 MB Level-3 cache. This large cache provided fast access to frequently used data. Thus, it contributed to the overall responsiveness of the system. With a maximum memory bandwidth of 30 GB/s, the processor processed data quickly.

Today, it no longer offers peak performance. Nevertheless, the AMD FX-6200 remains an interesting testament to past technology. For everyday tasks like surfing, word processing, or video playback, it can still form a functional basis. It's exciting to observe how requirements and processor architectures have evolved since then.
  • Six processing cores
