Huge decrease in price of AMD FX-9590 4,7GHz processor!

Dravic · August 23, 2013

Back on E3 2013, AMD announced two brand new CPUs in their FX Piledriver Vishera series, FX-9590 and 9370.

Of course, this was an amazing move from AMD showing that they've broke the record with putting ~~4,7GHz base clock~~ 5GHz Turbo CPU which totally wasn't a FX-83xx rebrand, on the shelves. Of course the pricing wasn't that sweet with the CPU being initially sold for around 800$.

Of course, as we all know, many of those ~~hand-picked and higher binned golden FX-83xx chips which totally aren't slower than i5 in 99% of tasks~~ were sold for this fair price. But suddenly, for whatever reason (we don't know why, this CPU wasn't overpriced at ALL in the first place, right?")...

One of UK stores, aria.co.uk, has SLASHED the price of FX-9590 from 700£ to a whopping 299£! This price is so good you can actually consider FX-9590 being a freeware over the competitor (i3-3120) due to superior performance.

Yay, I'm excited and already collecting my money for this baby. Who's with me?

And now as an old-AMD fan (check my signature), I'm sending this message to AMD as an answer to their last moves (including many things and not just the FX-9590):

PS FX-9370 and 9590 are the reasons why you 'amd fans' couldn't overclock your CPUs that easily to 5GHz on AIR even with beast coolers and needed at least a fair amount of watercooling... THANK YOU AMD is what you should say right now, right here, for destroying your 5GHz wet dreams :lol:

PPS I am not Intel fan, mind you. Just an AMD hater for they seem to be stupidly great when it comes to making CPU-related decisions.

PPPS I'm being sarcastic with most things throught this post, please don't hate me.
