FX Processor

I was wondering why there is no systems with the FX 8 - core processor on the market? Wouldn't it be great for gaming?

There are plenty of systems with the FX 8000 series processors on them but they aren't very good for gaming.

The FX-series processors have a longer pipeline than the Phenom, and they have very bad single threaded performance, thus, they aren't very good for gaming. The i5-3570K and Phenoms are better.

I guess I will stick with what I got. I have a Phenom 2. Thanks for the advice.
