What is AMD doing?

[stmaki16]

This is kinda old, but when AMD came out with he 9590, what were they trying to accomplish? It up to par with an older 3570k and the newer i5's beat it out. The only time it may pull through is through multi-core performance, but still. Plus, the 9590 price went down from near $1000 to $400 and is still $130 more than an older 3570k for equal performance. Now I notice that they are focusing more on their Apus since almost all devices nowadays use them, but what was the point of the 9590? Last ditch effort to compete against Intel? Let me know what you guys think!

Not only is it old, the facts are wrong and the Intel fanboy shines very bright with the OP.

[Paralectic]

It's a good CPU, but not the best for price/performance.

Im sorry, my facts are not wrong. Please check your sources. Im not an intel fanboy btw. Im actually an amd fanboy haha!

Check my sources? You mean from almost 2 years ago.......

 

But I guess if you want to spam your post count up quickly just make yet another AMD vs. Intel thread.......

So my test bench is lying to me? Please stop trolling. I tried to start a simple thread were we can peacefully talk about the 9590 and what the MAIN POINT OF IT WAS! Not for people like you that start problems. My test bench and results don't lie, and my 2 years of experience help as well. Again, check your sourtces please and don't post if you don't have anything nice to say.

So you have tested a 9590 then? Post the results on both the 3770K and the 9590.

 

Also if you want to talk about CPUs there is a section for that..

The 9590 isnt the best to compare to I mean both amd and intel have there perks, the 6300 is a great piece of work if your arguing price to power

And if someone has a microcenter that has 8320s for $99 it turns into even a better deal since 6300s seem to range from $109-119.

Bragging rights for being "5GHz"?

Well, it kinda can be seen as an embarrassment since Intel's CPUs can still out preform it: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-vs-AMD-FX-9590

I've moved this to the CPU's section. I've also had to remove some posts... Guys, please try to post relevant comments instead of just useless memes. Think this thread isn't worth your time, feel free to ignore it and go to another one.

 

OP: when it launched, I was wondering about that as well. I think they just needed something to stand them out in news sections. Since they didn't have a new CPU to show, they were forcedto bring something else new. Couldn't think of any other reason to bring the 9590 to market.

They just wanted to take some headlines from Intels haswell release with having a 5GHz CPU. At the end of the day they never intended for them to sell in droves.

 

Extreme overclockers or boutique builders on eBay like to use them because of the massive GHz that make less technically inclined buyers thing it's better than it is. 

[FellTheSky]

they were trying to scam idiots on the 1000$ price tag.

 

Im wondering if they did

Well, I know what AMD is doing and what others seem to not know about..

As far as I know, this is the first motherboard for the AMD AM1/FS1b socket.

http://www.gigabyte.us/products/list.aspx?s=42&jid=0&p=2&v=33

What did I post, ah idk, like 5 days ago?

Apparently 2 weeks ago.

 

The performance on a 4430 is balls IMO for its price. I'd skip and save up a week's worth of lunch money and buy a 4670k.

Personally think the 7850k is the most idiotic processor to exist, but whatever floats your financial boat, AMD. I like the fact that MSi has released a mini-ITX motherboard on the FM2+ platform, but that's only because I am hopeful for a non-APU processor on FM2+, like an Excavator "Athlon 3 X6" or something, six-core with better IPC and smarter power use that competes with 4-core i5s and completely dump the iGPU unless it involves something with HSA to help with certain programs/games.. I don't think it'd help with the cost at all, though. $250+ for something that resembles a 3570/maybe a 4670.

I was literally dreaming of this last night. That and the 6500/6750/8520/8550/9670/9990 as the final 6 FX processors. Mostly hoping for an FX-9990, being the first 6.0ghz processor at 220W and with turbo off.. A man can dream..

Athlon/Sempron reboot incoming, maybe. Edit: Just wanted to say I found the Anandtech article after posting everything above the url. Hell, my "dream" post I quoted above was made way before the Anandtech article anyway! I hope I am the Nostradamus of tech..

Apparently this has been known about for a while and was even shown at CES in some booths, but I only found out when I saw that Gigabyte had released a new mobo for a new socket (the one I put at the top of this post). Either way, based on all the talk on that Anandtech page's comments section + the information listed by Anandtech themselves, I have a strong feeling I may be right to some degree on a few of those products. I know for sure there's some form of an FX processor coming out this year. I mean, their roadmap had shown that AM3+ was being continued into 2014.

I heard if you pair the 9590 with an R9 290, the heat produced is enough to keep all of Canada warm in the winter.  The system also requires its own nuclear generating station to provide the power needed to run.

1. A 9590 is on par with a 4770k. 2. It's made for AMD guys. It's the migthy 5Ghz: 3. I would say that it's a stupid product for anybody except for AMD fans. A 4770k cost less and useless power while performing equally well. (Actually a little bit better) 

[Grave]

I should probably comment more directly to your topic. The 9590 is in its own little world, but it's supposed to be (and is) a beefed up 8150/8350. The problem is that it's too beefy for the architecture. Won't go into it too deeply as it's been covered lightly on LTT forums. Although it's been covered more on OCN forums, it's still lacking a decent amount of information because of the costs to achieve good overclocks on the average 9590 chip.

I don't even know how they managed to make the thing work but really, it's so close to being amazing. It's like that dude that was deadlifting 500lbs and his knees popped before his arms gave out and dropped the weight (don't know if this ever actually happened, but it's a good enough analogy). Truly depressing, but still awesome.

Yep. That's my take on the FX-9590.

Nah in Canada (coldest lace on the earth) you can run that stuff passivley without even using a heatsink. 

[Buckley]

honestly its not even a bad cpu, calculation wise, its one of the best, but yeah mostly just for 5ghz non oc bragging rights
