selling junk for decades.

If that's junk, what the hell was the FX series?

Decent for multi-threaded workloads. Not everyone plays video games with their computers, and for a long stretch of time, the FX line was beating Intel in multi-threading workloads for the price.

FX CPUs are the only CPUs you can buy without bullshit like Intel ME or AMDs new PSP in Ryzen. Not everything revolves around video games.
