No price though.

 

And its an OEM chip sorry guys, on another note you will be able to buy a maingear system with the new FX-9590 and 9530

oh man i would love to have a 5ghz cpu

[Godlygamer23]

That's simply not true.

I've seen the review of the 8350 by Anandtech. That's where my numbers come from. Also, you can't say I'm wrong when you didn't offer anything to counter my calculation method. These chips do not exist so my numbers towards that chip are hypothetical.

I'd love to hop back over to AMD if they actually have a "good" performing chip this time. AMD was the first cpu I ever used 6 years ago and hoping back would be awesome!!

 the world’s first commercially available 5 GHz CPU processor, the AMD FX-9590

 

This looks like the item they just released.

That's simply not true.

 

Of course, but IMHO it's simply a shitty product.

It's an 8350 that you know will get to 5.0 GHz. You're paying a premium for a premium binned chip.

Funny how Haswell was designed to sip on power and less focused on performance while AMD is like:

That's a pun. The 5GHz may be more powerful, but it definitely won't sip power.

There is no point in buying it. The performance/watt-ratio is terrible and for 800$ you get an i7-3930K and a mainboard.

First off the price hasn't been announced while the chip actually has, secondly people who would buy this chip are not the type of people who are probably already running a 1200 watt PSU

I know what it means... I guess it would have been more accurate had I said AMD CPUs will be like: GIVE ME POWER!...

[FeuerToifel]

don't forget the 5GHz is the max. turbo. and the max turbo only applies to one core (or module?). so only if the running application uses one core/module, the 5GHz will be set. so its not truly a 5GHz-CPU, "only" an "up-to 5GHz-CPU"

A module is not a core. The cores are in the modules. Not sure what you're getting at.

[FeuerToifel]

i am referring to the way the turbo works on amd-cpu's. there is two states of turbo.

example: my old FX6100 runs at 3,3GHz, has a max turbo (second state) of 3,9GHz but the first state is 3,6GHz. the first state applies to all cores. the second state only to one core. or one module ( so two cores), can't remember that clearly.

 

edit: the second state only works, if half the cores are inactive.

1200W PSU....... Check

 

Come on FX-9590 I'm waiting..............

i bet this will actually be a choice cpu for video editors!

 

If you think about it, the operations in video editing are actually pretty simple, but there's a huge amount of them that has to be done.

 

If you were a video editor, you would want whole lot of parallel processing capabilities in your cpu and also a high clock speed. unlike games where multiple operations per clock cycle seems to be more important.

 

The fx-9000 might actually be able to compete with sandy bridge E for video editing at least, because it's high clock speed and 8 cores would give it a huge advantage over intel.

If it can, it'll only be competing with the 3820, which is slower than both the 3770 and 4770 XD

The first onlineshop is listing the CPUs:

 

FX-9590, $920.31

FX-9370, $576.27

 

The prices will probably decrease a bit, but what a joke. Compared to Haswell, the FX-9590 IMHO is worth maybe 200$.

Yeah, I could understand those prices if it could compete with the $1000 CPUs from Intel, but it's barely going to compete with the 4770k by the looks of things...

At stock, the 8350 consumes 71% more than its TDP, which is 125 watts at full load. The current TDP that we know of for the 9000 chip is 220. You apply the 71% to the 9000's TDP, and you get 156.2 watts. 220+156.2=376.2 watts.

Proof pleease!

[TechFan@ic]

I don't mind the price personally, seeing how intel always jacks up the prices, let AMD have their fun for once, you can OC 8350s to 5Ghz with a bit of patience and a bit of skill these pre OCed CPUs are for ham-fisted "I have no idea what I'm doing" sort of folk, who'll waste their money on almost anything, I don't mind letting AMD have their money, they need it after all.

8350's numbers were taken from Anandtech's review. Look up the review and do the math yourself.

That's the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. 

 

$900 (although the prices will most likely drop) for an OCed 8350? No thanks, wouldn't even pay $400. If intel tried to sell the 4770k @ 5GHz stock for $500+ everyone would've flipped their shit. Yea AMD needs the money but if these prices are anywhere close to real you'd have to be insane to buy one.

 

Linus even said in his last live-stream, it'll perform like an 8350 @ 5GHz, nothing more.

It might sound ludicrous to you but it is true, AMD isn't "trying" to sell these CPUs for those prices, they're already sold out to OEMs, there will be no retail versions.

So even if you (& me) think that these CPUs aren't worth 900$/500$, the OEM system builders clearly disagree.

Your calculation is wrong. Anandtech wattage is reffering to the whole system. 71% of that wattage maybe(i didn't verify) is the TDP of the cpu, but the rest 29% is the video card and anything else. Add another cpu TDP and the rest of the system won't be the same 29% of the CPU TDP simply because you changed the cpu only. Please don't confuse people!
