AMD FX-9000 - FX-8770 CPU's.

That explains it

And there my point of the state of GPU encoding is enforced again lol.

AMD --> Have Lost The Plot --> me thinks. I loved me Barton its still going well.

U.S prices listed here.

Martini1991 · 18 Jun 2013 at 23:23

If they come OEM, that might just be E-tailers throwing them in the channel when they're not meant to, like the 95W 1055T's.

Yes, same cache, same 8 piledriver cores. I suspect maybe in 1000 CPU's AMD get one which can hit 5GHz on air, so the price is for the exclusivity.

Don't get me wrong in my testing I am using air cooling, though damn good air cooling. problem is none of the motherboards are stable with above 1.60v under-load at any speed. Its not temperature issue or CPU, so has to be due to mainboard can't deliver.

For whatever reason this CPU is more demanding on mainboard than regular FX-8350, yet from what I can tell it is the same architecture and spec, L2/L3 cache all identical etc.

5GHz on air with 2400MHz RAM along with 2600 NB and 2600 HT is damn good, that's prime stable too, benchmark stable is 5.1-5.2GHz again on air. I've never had a FX-8350 do that, best I ever had was 4.90GHz prime stable but only in UD7 which is no longer made, other mainboards seems to struggle past 4.60GHz prime stable.

I mean what prime stable OC are people getting on FX 8350/8320 at moment on air cooling, if they are maxing around 4.60GHz, then I suppose FX-9590 with 5GHz OC pretty much guaranteed is worth something, just maybe not the current suggested price. Of course AMD make it a crazy price because it probably cannot be massed produced due to maybe a poor yield rate. This is of course guessing because right now I have no idea on availability, if AMD can supply thousands then the price needs questioning, but I suspect the supply will be very limited.

Still it is good they are trying to push the boundaries and bringing the fight closer to the Intel. I say in games the AMD chips are now very good! I shall post my benchmarks but they are just cinebench, heaven, valley, 3D Mark and with a 7990 so won't probably tell you much apart from a 7990 is stupidly quick.

5GHz on air, 2400MHz RAM, 2600 NB and 2600 HT Prime95 stable is pretty good I agree. and with that it looks like there is some binning / tweaking going on, but the price can't be justified.

I'm glad the normal FX chips are selling well, they are much better chips than a lot of people say they are, they deserve more credit than they get.
They are also better value than Intel's CPU's. at the price they are at I would buy one over Intel in the blink or an eye.

And I don't think AMD will always be this far behind in performance.

AMD have now committed themselves to this ~5Ghz, lets hope SR gets its predicted IPC boost, and around 5Ghz clocks with a reasonable price tag to boot.

humbug true but if you are after IPS Intel is the way to go

Zeed · 19 Jun 2013 at 12:47

Gibbo can you post Single thread Cinebench for us to ??? Curious how much that can do at 5ghz compared to my sandy

And if it goes for this cpu its just better to get FX-8350 and spend cash difference on Proper water cooling kit and still have some money left !!!

buttkinz · 29 Jun 2013 at 23:03

the core is different on this i think with it having turbo core 3.0, dont k ow what elae has changed but maybe its a new revision

dave28 · 29 Jun 2013 at 23:19

I can still see a market for the FX-9000 tho because there are tens of thousands of people out there who want the novely of having a 5Ghz CPU, cant overclock themself and like AMD because it is different to the norm or to rebel against the intel tide. The thing is how much will it cost, if its the price of a i5 4670K and smashes it in multithread tests and matches it in single thread then a lot of people will buy it. However I cannot see that happening these days because AMD do not seem to be able to pull off such aggressive moves anymore.

Omaeka · 30 Jun 2013 at 04:10

Do these even compare to i5s let alone the top end i7s? If that's what they are sent out to fight against (the i7s) I don't see how they can stand a chance, unless they are cheap.

Kurisu Makise · 2 Jul 2013 at 02:35

good for people that dont like overclocking but the expect the pricing to be a little steep and 220w hmm

The 8350 already competes against the i5, and I'm sure it will be interesting to see it against an i7, the price point is too much though. But I haven't seen them listed on any respectable website so far.

Not according to so many people on this forum for months that are disappointed with it...

AMD FX 9590 'Centurion' Benchmarks surface

AMD FX 9590 'Centurion' Benchmarks surface -

Read on -Heck yeah, somebody has gotten their hand on a AMD FX 9590, the 5 GHz CPU processor called AMD FX-9590 comes with 8-cores and is clocked at 5 GHz. A VR-Zone forum user called “MacClipper” got his hands on a retail sample of the AMD FX-9590 and wriote up a quick preview of the 5 GHz processor from AMD. The FX-9590 is based off the same 32nm HKG process used on Piledriver and Bulldozer, so this is the same stuff as the FX processors, yet clocked faster and eating away a lot of power.

It's a trophy processor of what Bulldozer should have been to begin with, 4770K performance for 3960X price... they're having a laugh.

Boomstick777 · 7 Jul 2013 at 23:12

To expensive, better off with an Intel chip and overclock yourself. Come on AMD release the new arch already !

Kaapstad · 7 Jul 2013 at 23:39

The FX 9590 is hardly going to get a 3930k quaking in it's boots.

It is not often you can say this about intel CPUs but the 3930k is half the price of the FX 9590.
