Strongest AMD Cpu

FX 9590 on the consumer side, comparable to the i7 4770K in terms of performance. But it runs hot, needs a high end motherboard, high end cooling solution, consumes more power than Intel's Extreme Edition CPUs and it is just not very good for all of that.

You didn't even bother to write an OP?

 

@TheSLSAMG, no it's not.

Would prefer to see a bit more context in your question, but regarding your question: an FX-9590 is the 'strongest' on the AM3+ platform.

@TheSLSAMG, no it's not. 

If you looked at my post again, I said on the consumer side.

 

There are more powerful server chips, such as the one @Aniallation pointed out, but you would be hard pressed to find a more powerful consumer socket CPU.

Still not comparable. But that's been established 100 times already. Just stop saying that, so people like the TS don't only have to write a 3 word title to get a discussion started.

Well, what CPUs would you compare it to then?

Gaming; somewhere between the i3-3220 and the i5-2400. 

Productivity; it trades blows with the i5-4690K correct, but at 3 times the power consumption.

In benchmarks, both synthetic and real-world, the chip can go toe to toe with an i7 4770K. For some applications, it lags behind, but it does decently for the most part.

Like i said, productivity you're correct (i was in the middle of adding 4770K in my post, i wrote 4790K which wasn't correct). If you disregard the steep power consumption, motherboard and cooling expenses to power and cool the thing, you could say it's competitive.

However, we can't really disregard them. So it's only really competivite in benchmarks, not in real life.

 

Which all i'll say on the subject however. because i think OP is baiting a discussion.

Trust me, I am on your side. I think it's a near-useless CPU to this market, I think the compromises made to use one are annoyingly pointless, but it doesn't perform too bad.

Which is why people don't buy them and AMD isn't expecting people to -.-

No, maybe the 3770k, but not the 4770k. It has more raw cores and schedulers, but clock for clock it doesn't have the throughput. The benchmarks you quote (synthetic and real) are both supremely outdated. Haswell has 3 ALUs per core vs. AMD's 2. Intel also has a full FPU per core vs. AMD having 1 for each 2 cores. Intel's is also the best in the world in efficiency of throughput. It takes about 8 cycles to do a floating point multiply on a Vishera chip. It takes 5 on Haswell and now only 3 on Broadwell.

Heh, originally I think they were thinking people 'd buy them given the launchprice.

[TheSLSAMG]

According to most of the benchmarks I have been linking, we are both right.

 

Strange. I still would never touch one though.

The benchmarks you quote are very much outdated. Part of the problem is how long it takes programmers to catch up on hardware.

Yeah, I believe most of the improvements are masked by old testing methods. Which is understandable if they want to compare it to previous models, but annoying nontheless.

well the 9590 is better if you use all cores. But a good oc 1100t will be on par or better than the 8350 or 6300 a lot of the time

Sempron 2650!!!! best cpu on the market!

That's because it's pretty much the same CPU with a different name. :")

(i say 'pretty much', i know they're not identical)

The 9590 and the 8350? The silicone is identical

I meant the 1100T and the FX-6300.
