Is there anything to replace my 1090t yet?

The FX series still have poor single threaded performance compared to Intel's CPUs. Piledriver's single core performance still hovers around the old PII core. If anything it's only multithreaded performance that has improved for AMD, but that's if the software can take advantage of it.

For gaming, granted we have some newer games that can take advantage of many cores but OP would still probably be off best investing into something like an i5.

Yes, I agree. Some bugs at caches, not ideal construciton of FP, shared L1+L2. But overall its not so bad if you take the price . Example FX-6300 is great for the price, the best AMD (easily OC to 4.6 GHz with cheap M5A97 R2.0 board).

Of course, for gaming is "better" FX-6300 than FX-8350 as the same you mention core i5 is better value for gaming than core i7. Im not big gamer, I like OC and tweaking os my choice are ussually core i7 and FX-8000 series to colection .
But PentiumG3258, yes, I have it too because its fun CPU for OC.

Or rather save the £100 premium.

Quite funny how people all recommend I5s for modern games yet don't realise the architecture in both new consoles is very close to the FX series.

We approached a number of developers on and off the record - each of whom has helped to ship multi-million-selling, triple-A titles - asking them whether an Intel or AMD processor offers the best way to future-proof a games PC built in the here and now. Bearing in mind the historical dominance Intel has enjoyed, the results are intriguing - all of them opted for the FX-8350 over the current default enthusiast's choice, the Core i5 3570K.

So let's see.. Intel fan or the people who actually write the games.

I've said it before and I will say it again. The most important part of any gaming rig is the GPU, so spend your money wisely on a CPU then drop a nut on the GPU.
