Draconian Guppy Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Los Angeles? E3 ?6/11/2013 AMD (NYSE: AMD) today unveiled its most powerful member of the legendary AMD FX family of CPUs, the world?s first commercially available 5 GHz CPU processor, the AMD FX-9590. These 8-core CPUs deliver new levels of gaming and multimedia performance for desktop enthusiasts. AMD FX-9000 Series CPUs will be available initially in PCs through system integrators. ?At E3 this week, AMD demonstrated why it is at the core of gaming,? said Bernd Lienhard, corporate vice president and general manager, Client Products Division at AMD. ?The new FX 5 GHz processor is an emphatic performance statement to the most demanding gamers seeking ultra-high resolution experiences including AMD Eyefinity technology. This is another proud innovation for AMD in delivering the world?s first commercially available 5 GHz processor.? ?AMD continues to push the envelope when it comes to desktop capabilities and power performance,? said Wallace Santos, CEO and founder of MAINGEAR. ?In unveiling the world?s first 5 GHz 8-core CPU, AMD continues to lead the way in innovation while providing our customers with a best-in-class experience. We are thrilled to be part of this exciting launch.? The new 5 GHz FX-9590 and 4.7 GHz FX-9370 feature the ?Piledriver? architecture, are unlocked for easy overclocking and pave the way for enthusiasts to enjoy higher CPU speeds and related performance gains1. Additionally, these processors feature AMD Turbo Core 3.0 technology to dynamically optimize performance across CPU cores and enable maximum computing for the most intensive workloads. AMD was the first to break the 1 GHz barrier in May of 2000 and continues to set the standard in technology innovation including the first Windows compatible 64-bit PC processor and the first native dual-core and quad-core processors. AMD also introduced the first APU(unifying CPU and Radeon? graphics on the same chip) and the first x86 quad-core SoC, continuing forward with HSA architectures and programming models. The new AMD FX CPUs will be available from system integrators globally beginning this summer. Two models will be available: FX-9590: Eight ?Piledriver? cores, 5 GHz Max Turbo FX-9370: Eight ?Piledriver? cores, 4.7 GHz Max Turbo Supporting Resources Check out the AMD FX Family of CPUs here Visit our ?Be Invincible? landing page for more information on the APU Advantage Read AMD Blogs for more details on why AMD is the Core of Gaming Watch AMD APU demos on the AMD YouTube Channel Follow all the news from AMD on Twitter: @AMD Join AMD on Facebook About AMD AMD (NYSE: AMD) is a semiconductor design innovator leading the next era of vivid digital experiences with its groundbreaking AMD Accelerated Processing Units are (APUs) that power a wide range of computing devices.

Andre S. Veteran Posted June 11, 2013 Veteran Share Posted June 11, 2013 FX-9590: IT'S OVER 9000 In all seriousness, this is reminiscent of Intel's Netburst architecture; making up for an inefficient design by pumping the clock speed - and TDP - to insane levels. Add to that a stupid number of cores in Piledriver's case. It'll please the Ghz crowd I suppose (5Ghz!? WTFZORZ CAN I HAZ). Anyway, hopefully this is Piledriver's last incarnation and AMD gives us something more inspiring next time (i.e. Steamroller). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aokromes Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 And the performance of one I7-4770k? Amd is going the road of P4, higher frecuency and more cores to try to catch Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisj1968 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 If it wasn't for AMD, Intel fans would be paying out their asses for their CPU's. Gotta have competition to keep prices in check. If it were just Intel, there would be NO innovation or competition to create new technologies. I "used to" be into getting the latest and greatest but, being a dad, husband and uncaring to have the latest tech, I have you guys to listen to, to make a conscious decision when needed.

threetonesun Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 220W TDP for the AMD FX-9590 Yup. That's AMD in a nutshell, right there. This is some weird reversal of the Pentium 4 days, when AMD was making more efficient processors, and all Intel could do was come up with more Hertz.

This old argument again. AMD is BARELY competition to Intel as it is. If your "argument" was true, then Intel processors would be WAY more expensive..but they aren't.

Xerino Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I am actually suprised that AMD went that high, it seems that at the end of the sockt 478 and socket 754 era of CPUs, they just seemed to stop just shy of the 4ghz mark (3.93 GHZ P4 EE) and just said MOAR CORES!!!! and a faster FSB and more cache, dont get me wrong, its done the job over the last 10 or so years, but I am happy to see that AMD stepped up to the plate and release a 5ghz CPU without overclocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelancer1111 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I guess these Processors will mostly be used by OEMs or systems integrators, as most AM3+ consumer boards are officially made for 125 Watt TDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, you can grab a k-series i7 (or an i5 if you get a good one) and overclock it to 5ghz. It will hot as hell, but so will the AMD. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krome Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I am an Intel fan but I am glad AMD did this to make Intel push forward for better CPU. I will not use AMD even though they boast up with this new CPU. But I will wait to see Intel trying to catch up to innovation. This will only make Intel dishing out better and faster CPU. Spend $600USD for a 6 Core Intel i7 and CPU is outdated already. Now the CPU war starts all over again for Intel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your "argument" was true, then Intel processors would be WAY more expensive..but they aren't. Barely competing? You might want to go back in recent neowin news and asses that comment again. AMD is getting alot of business in the console market. Whatever Intel doesn't have AMD does. your banter of "my dogs better then your dog.." is old too.

Joni_78 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Oh, wow. When I first heard the rumours I was sure they can't do this with 8-core CPU. Impresive stock clock considering how hot my FX-8350 gets at 5 GHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc2k Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 and all Intel could do was come up with more Hertz. And pay/threaten OEMs not to use AMD CPUs. I believe that had a significant influence over AMD's ability to develop and bring new tech to market. Arceles 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Froud Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 What you all need to think about is the next gen consoles are AMD hardware, which means PC ports will work better on AMD based PC systems, simple fact you Intel fanboys may not like. Most PC games are now console ports, AMD all the way for me from now on. This great new CPU and the next gen Radeons when they're released.
