The FX-9590 processor which is based on the high-performance 32nm x86 Piledriver architecture was launched a year ago in June 2013. Back at that time, the processor became the first to achieve the 5 GHz core frequency as a standard operating clock speed however was met with criticism due to a price of $999 US and a 220W TDP for which the processor became unfit for regular air-cooled systems. In addition to that, the 5 GHz clock frequency although a huge figure in clocks still couldn’t out-perform the mid-range Ivy Bridge-E offering which offers more performance due to a better optimized architecture and process design (32nm vs 22nm).

 

 

Featuring support on the AM3+ socketed motherboards which are specially designed to fit these 220W monsters, the FX-9590 processor packs 8 cores and 8 threads with 8 MB of L3 cache, core clock of 4.7 GHz and boost clock of 5.0 GHz. The processor packs a TDP of 220W which is higher then Intel’s first 8 core Haswell-E offering that will arrive in Q3 2014 with a TDP of 140W. At launch, AMD launched the FX-9590 and aggressively pitted it against the Ivy Bridge-E lineup which it failed to match and cut it down to the $300 – $350 US range in the following months. The processor can be bought for $320 US on retail stores around the world while the $360 US boxed variant which is arriving soon will be optimized for enthusiasts at only $40 US more cost.

Plus, WCCFTech is the source so take as grain of salt.

Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope.....

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

It's as if AMD doesn't even care any more about CPUs.

That's why they're done with the FX series.

Such a shame, back in the pentium 4 days they were kickass. 2 GHz Athlon 64's completely destroyed 3 GHz P4's...

How is AMD's top of the line processors still using 32 nm technology when Intel is currently using 22 nm technology and releasing 14 nm technology in the new processors late this year.

 

I guess that's why they use so much wattage and run hot.

They don't have their own fabs. They had to sell them to GlobalFoundries.
