FX 9590 & FX 9370 listed on TigerDirect + Performance Preview.

[TechFan@ic]

AMD's 5Ghz flagship FX 9590 processor has been listed on TigerDirect sporting a hefty price tag of 829$, along with its younger sibling the 4.7Ghz FX 9370 for 319$, similar to what you'd normally pay for a 3770K or a 4770K.
How these new chips stand in terms of performance is yet to be seen, but I'd expect reviews to pop up within a week or so.

829? :| Seriously?

[naca1227]

Woah AMD, these better be beast as fucking all hell or your CPU ship is sinking

[sonarctica]

This was posted earlier but yeah, you're basically paying $500 for an overclock so nothing special, just cherry picked CPU's that have been overclocked to 5GHz

[Levent]

price difference shows the how rare the binning of FX9590 rare is but still unless im a collector (which im not) i wouldnt buy any of these cpu's

[TechFan@ic]

I understand the pricing of the FX 9590 CPU, it's meant to be a dream chip like an Intel extreme edition or a GTX Titan. But I really don't understand the pricing of the FX 9370.

In all probability it will perform similarly to the 4770K in multi-threaded applications, perhaps a tad faster, but it will remain less competitive in single or lightly threaded work-loads & it probably won't overclock as well because its overclocking potential has already been eaten away with the factory overclock, this is just an assumption of course, the chip could possibly still have a decent amount of overclocking headroom in it, but even so that won't be enough to justify the power consumption.

I acually expect these chips to perform on par or better that Intel's counterparts. I don't really know why, maybe it's just hopes and dreams.

 

On the other hand, this might be a marketing strategy from AMD, remember that people buy low end GPU's all the time if they see that they have a lot of memory (my friend acually wanted to buy a NVIDIA 630 2gb as na upgrade of his GTX 560 1gig), so the strategy would bee: people see a chip clocked at 5GHz and conclude it's better because it has more "jiggahertz" -ergo a better chip.

 

Time will tell.

If it doenst OC to like 5.5 on air then its not worth the money. Or if it is as efficient as in tasks intel, but i highly doubt that.

 

4.7Ghz FX 9370 for 319$ <-- more reasonable, but only benches will tell

 

8320 / 8350 it is.

[hehehehhehehehe]

829? :| Seriously?

over $1000 in Australia.....

On air? Haha, good joke. They have 200w TDP, water 120mm rad with 2 fans is keeping an 2500k at 130w at 80c, imagine 200w...

Or Romania for that matter.

Yeah, plus it's a theoretical 8 core...

It not that hard to cool it actually.Let say this is custom water loop with 250w tdp gpu and 100w tdp cpu,which is 350w system,you would only need 360 rad to cool it around 40 degree celcius idle 60c load. So it not that hard to cool 200w tdp cpu.

 

Even on hyper 212 evo,8350 manage to reach around 4.3-4.4 ghz average on air while reaching 4.6ghz average on H100i. Overclockers Club manage to run 8350 at 5.2ghz on all module using H100. So i would imagine this cherry pick cpu would run cooler than average 8350 on 4.7-5.0ghz.

I'm a bit interested in the 9370. Although I would think that a 9370 didn't make it to be a 9590 because it could overclock to 5 GHz so maybe that means that the 9370 will overclock very little or nothing at all.

Hmm I wonder what score my cheap ass cpu will get. Im DLing Cinebench now :D

Phoahahafafa, those scores are lame XD i get 8.10 on the 2500k quad core XD. Regarding the cooling, it very much depends, it's not that easy, and when you say 40c, you mean idle right?

[Kuzma]

Why do i feel that the 9590 will hit 6 on water, and the 9370 will hit 5 on water? Makes more sense for them to find out the limits, tone it down a bit and sell it as a beastly overclocking chip because they know exactly how far it will go. I'm seeing the 9590 out perform the 4770k and the 9370 bulling just below.

Yeh some how I dont think so. If I can get a 8120 to 5GHz I I can get a 8350 there so what the point in the 9590

[Morfy]

How would they outperform a 4770k, when that scores are close to a 2500k? Makes no sense, plus that it's fair to compare them to a 4770k that can hit 4.5-4.6,

[Kuzma]

Because they cherry picked 8350s that can hit 6ghz and lowered the clocks to 5ghz and released them there.

[Woodypc]

Just for the lols. I got this CPU for a really good deal at the time :) .

Yeh maybe.

This may just be a move to bring more products from AMD side to show intel that they are here also.

but this is just overkill for the overclocked version of the regular FX series chip this could be a suicide move by AMD !
