AMD FX9590 (5ghz) Review [KITGURU]

With this pice of shiet CPU AMD made 4770K look like best value for power on the market !!!! You can buy CPU + MB + H100 cooler for price of that CPU oO
**** even all 2011 look like bargain looking at those numbers LOL.

And this comes after fail with bulldozer ??

I miss old duron athlon phenom days. When AMD made cpus that could fight on even level with intel.....
 
It's interesting To see that AMD are trying to enter the more money than sense category.

I think there's bound to be loads of rich idiots who wan't the most giga-things and moar coars who would probably buy them

4670K + B85 mobo is easily best bang for buck option atm, makes all AMD's chips look a bit meh tbh..

H87 + B85 support 'K' overclocking on Haswell CPU's now..

That would be nice if they actually brought overclocking back to their cheaper Core i5 and Core i3 CPUs! The Core i5 4670K is still £190 to £200 and it really is not what I consider the best value for money CPU available ATM. Even with the B85 and H87 motherboards you are still looking at the £60 to £80 ones at least if you want reasonable quality I suspect,which is not far off the price of the Z68 and Z77 motherboards for socket 1155.

The Z87 motherboards also seem to be around £90 to £100 for the cheapest ones,so it appears the higher end B85 and H87 motherboards are taking over from the cheaper Z87 motherboards.

Moreover add the fact that Haswell needs reasonably decent cooling and it increases the cost.

In fact it was the Core i5 2500K which could be had for close to £150 frequently,which was a better value CPU,especially considering you could get away with cheaper cooling for a reasonable overclock,and some of the Z68 motherboards ended up quite cheap too.

Right ^^^^ an FX-8350 with a good but inexpensive cooler like a CM Hyper 412S would do 4.7Ghz and still cost less than an i5 4670K alone.

You are completely correct in what your saying, however as the 8350/412s combo is only £9 cheaper that the 4670K and a 4.7GHz 8350 isn't really any better than what the 4670K can do on the stock cooler the is of course more to the comparison than meets the eye.

-------------------

Just did the math, for $1000 you can get:

A: FX-9590 + GTX650Ti
B: i7-4770K + GTX780

lol

^^ The price is ludicrous tbh, it makes the Intel 4670K and 4770K look like absolute bargains in comparison. Even with the limited overclocking.

I never thought AMD would release something this grossly overpriced tbh, makes me think that we may not see any bang for buck chips with Steamroller.. Although I guess the price of these may drop like a sack of spuds when nobody buys them :p

As much as i want to support AMD because i like their hardware a lot, it just works for me, if this is the case im certainly not going to. But lets see first, as i dont think AMD wants to go off their "most performance per buck spent" way of life until they have atleast hammered the competion for atleast 1 or 2 generations of hardware. It is what is keeping them in the game, good hardware for cheap.

Supply and demand - not many PD chips will be capable of these speeds so supply will be very tight.

Demand? What demand?

If AMD mange to somehow pull-off something like splitting single-threaded workload across all cores and having 100% CPU usage on all of them (i.e. 100% CPU usage on 8 cores in WOW, Starcraft 2, Total Wars series, Planetside2/Tribe Asend/Guild Wars 2), then yea there "may be" some demand at that price...
