fx 9590 question

[Phoenix70]

why do  ppl call it the ultimate AMD fanboy cpu?

[H4X3R]

Because it's an overclocked 8320 and you are basically paying for the bragging rights.

[Izaya Orihara]

Because it's useless. It consumes more, power, runs hotter, costs more and performs worse than a 4770k.

well ive seen ppl on yt calling it the best gaming cpu if you are just gaming... i disagree but it did kind of caught my eye and make me wonder

even worse than i5 4690k

You're paying upwards of god knows how much for a higher binned factory overclocked 8320 that probably has a crap ton of voltage being shoved through it, thus giving you ultimate fanboy bragging rights.

but it has good silicon..

And that's about it.

because that is what it is. i want one but i wouldn't buy one.

No. That's wrong. 

[Phoenix70]

No. That's wrong. 

how come? cause i can find the damn thing on the same price

Ah I was thinking you meant pure performance wise. 

[Phoenix70]

I mean pure performance. the rest can be managed since power is not that expensive, heat will be managed since i will watercool and im looking for VFM... the sad thing is I HATE pcie 2.0 that the motherboards of am3+ have. might as well go for i5

The 8320 is the most expensive AMD CPU that makes sense really. The 9370 is only a few £ more expensive than the 8350 as long as you're getting a board that supports it. Otherwise 8350 and 9590 are kind of useless.

I find that the 8350 is binned a lot higher than the 8320 (no shit). Overclocking an 8320 will probably stall around 4.4-4.5, but an average 8350 can do way higher than that on less voltage.

 

But yeah, you're probably right when it comes to the 8320. But for someone who likes overclocking, i'd shell out a few extra bucks for a higher overclock anytime.

By that measure you're better off with the 9370

[Priller]

It's just segmentation.

 

When it was just the 8320 and 8350 you would get a wide range of performance with the 8350s. So they binned out the 9370 and 9590s. They will both typically clock very much the same but the 9590 usually has a better IMC.
