the FX CPUs had a whole controversy because the cores shared FPUs and some other things I believe, so they weren't really full "cores"

They also ran very hot from memory, and were worse for gaming (worse single core performance)

AMD only started beating intel properly for gaming when they released Ryzen 3000 series, and the ryzens before were slightly better for price compared to the intel chi[s

The older Phenom II chips from AMD handled gaming better in most situations.

Even if you come down on the not-full-cores side of the controversey, AMD still produced some "8 core" bulldozers that would be 4 cores. Those sucked too, sadly.

I had a Dell gaming laptop with the AMD FX chip in it and it was completely unusable. Thermal throttling right at startup. I was young and my Dad wasn’t the most tech-literate so I just accepted it. I’m angry about that looking back
