[2][3] FX has been succeeded by the Ryzen brand of CPUs, based on the Zen architecture, which initially launched in 2017 to compete with Intel's later generation processors such as Skylake.

[16] Unlike the majority of their Intel counterparts, FX chips offered no integrated graphics, a feature reserved for AMD's APU line of processors.

[17] Due to multiple cores sharing common resources, most tasks were substantially slower on the FX lineup than the Intel Sandy Bridge equivalent.

[17] The power consumption of the lineup, while not as poor as the Phenom II generation, was still worse than what Intel was providing at the time.

[19] With AMD only being responsible for 20% of consumer CPU sales in 2016,[20] Intel continued to gain market share in the industry during the lifespan of the FX series.

[24] The company settled out-of-court and decided to voluntarily pay out $12.1 million to California residents who bought a high-end FX chip.
