Faster processors spruce up AMD FX lineup

In a blog post on its website, AMD has revealed faster additions to its FX processor lineup—sorry, make that its "legendary" and "much beloved" FX lineup. The FX name is indeed legendary, harkening back to the days when AMD could sell ultra-high-end processors like the Athlon 64 FX-51 for more than $700 a pop. It still denotes AMD's high-end desktop chips, but now, those CPUs live south of $200 and are sold on value rather than all-out performance.
