Which processor has a better performance the fx series or the ryzen series?

Yo there, Im building a system to use linux, to work in investigation of physics, write in latex, documents, databases , programming,, virtualization and watch videos and images (2D) but Im stuck at the processor, between a fx 6300 that Im using in another machine and the ryzen series, But looking at the specs it seems that the ryzen platform was made more to gaming and fancy graphical use instead of what I intend to do, and the bottom line of ryzen seems to lack enough power to work (I have seen this does not have the virtualization support), so what is better, based in the use described before, the fx6300 based on socket AM3+ or the ryzen series on AM4?

PD. The idea is to have enough punch to work without spending lots of money.
