The FX cpus had @⅔ the IPC (speed at which it could shove threads through) of a decent 3rd generation Ivy-Bridge Intel cpu. You are now on 8th generation Intel. Clock for clock, that means basically that an FX is @60% slower per clock, or @40% slower per clock than a Ryzen cpu.
To put it bluntly, a FX at 4.0GHz would be the same as a Ryzen at @2.2GHz. Considering that it's usually not difficult to get a Ryzen to @3.8GHz, to get the same performance from a FX, it'd need to be running at almost 7GHz.
That's an overweight dog with no training wheels and only 2 legs in a race with a grayhound.
Save your money. Forget FX.

Karadjgne: that is the funniest explanation I have read yet..
amingherib: if you need to have an antique example of an AMD system for your museum display get FX system
otherwise if your mean to use your computer, then get a Ryzen
