Understanding AMD FX-6120 Six-Core
PassMark single-core and multicore scores describe different workloads. Compare each score with the same benchmark on another processor. A higher multicore score does not mean every application or game will run proportionally faster. Device cooling, memory and power settings also affect performance.
Will AMD FX-6120 Six-Core work with my motherboard?
The source lists AM3+ as the socket. Check the exact motherboard model and revision on its manufacturer's CPU support list, including the minimum BIOS version. A socket match alone does not establish compatibility. Include a new motherboard, memory and cooling in your budget when the platform changes.
Other names listed by the benchmark source: AMD FX(tm)-6120 Six-Core Processor.
How our benchmarks and CPU recommendations workSources and data freshness
- AMD FX-6120 Six-Core on PassMark CPU Benchmarks. Data retrieved .
The retrieval date records when Find Me a CPU collected the source data. It is not a benchmark test date. Prices are USD estimates from the source, converted for other currencies, rather than live retailer offers. Release / first seen means the CPU first appeared on PassMark charts, not necessarily its launch date.
Benchmark scores do not predict frame rates in a particular game. Typical TDP is a specification, not measured electricity use. A matching socket does not confirm motherboard support; check the manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements.
