Why were AMD FX CPUs so bad?

The extreme performance issues with the FX series were down to shared memory channels and reduced cache; the individual cores were no weaker than the previous Phenom series, yet in many real life tasks performed MUCH worse; and FAR worse than the synthetic benchmarks would suggest.

Will CPU prices go down 2021?

Prices have gone up as well as stock reducing. We can expect this to go on at least until Q4 2021 at best. Try checking for availability and prices and slowly buy all the parts. For price, it may not be bound to change.

Will processor prices drop?
