AMD FX-6330

6C/6T · 4.2 GHz · 95 W

The AMD FX-6330 Black Edition is a six-core Socket AM3+ desktop processor that AMD quietly added to its FX lineup in December 2015 at around $110. Built from three Piledriver modules on the 32 nm Vishera die, it runs at 3.6 GHz with Turbo Core up to 4.2 GHz in a 95 W TDP, and its unlocked multiplier makes it a budget option for overclocking. It was one of the last new FX models before AMD moved to the Ryzen platform.

Notes
Windows 10 is supported. No FX-series processor appears on Microsoft's Windows 11 supported-processor lists, which begin with the AMD Ryzen 2000 series, so Windows 11 is not supported. Current Linux distributions run without restriction.
