AMD to release new FX processor (with AIO)

[Sempron Guy]

This is gonna be interesting. The included AIO suggest that this will be a more than 125W part but due to the size of the cooler I would expect sub 220W.
Things AMD can do between 125W and 220W:
1. Even more clock speed (I have a hard time imagining AMD managing a sub 220W 5.1+Ghz FX8350)
2. More cores (people have managed to OC the 16 core opterons to over 4ghz on water cooling)
3. 28nm with more cores (They did recently sign a contract with Global Foundries)

I'd take option 3 please

I'm getting anxious

I have the liquid cooler already... Great stock cooler I might add. I am interested in this processor as I am looking for an upgrade. I think the current offering of the 9 series processors are quite high in price. IF this processor is released at 28 nm I would be extremely surprised... Die shrink on the same socket.

 

[HalfAHertz]

My guess is a 150W Kaveri part running 4.5GHz stock.

Advanced Micro Devices plans to release another FX-series desktop microprocessor that will come bundled with closed-loop liquid cooling system, the firm said this week. The company did not unveil any details about the upcoming chip, but demonstrated its packaging and said that it will be available soon.

Roy Taylor, vice president of global channel sales at AMD, on Friday published a photo of an FX processor packaging on Twitter saying that “something new is coming.” The box, which says it contains an “FX-series processor with liquid cooling technology,” is vastly different from packages of currently available AMD FX products.

Since the package says “processor,” then it is highly-likely that AMD plans to release [at least] another high-performance multi-core chip without integrated graphics designed specifically for enthusiasts (update: confirmed by a source close to AMD). If AMD planned to release a high-end Kaveri-based FX-series offering, it would call the product an “accelerated processing unit.” As there are no “Steamroller” micro-architecture-based multi-core CPUs for servers/high-end desktops scheduled to arrive in mid-2014 anywhere in AMD’s roadmaps, it is highly likely that the company plans to further increase frequencies of the existing Vishera design that features the Piledriver micro-architecture x86 cores.

It looks like (at least, based on the current information) AMD decided to release a microprocessor that will be a respond to Intel’s code-named “Devil’s Canyon” microprocessors. AMD yet has to release actual specifications of the novelty, but if the company actually plans to speed-up the Vishera design one more time, then it looks like we are probably going to see an eight-core chip with default clock-speed of 5GHz or higher

Is their a rule that you must post the source if you are going to quote an article from an outside website. If there isn't there should be.

I'll do it anyhow... http://www.kitguru.net/components/c...x-microprocessor-with-bundled-liquid-cooling/

That would basically blow up the VRMs in any available FM2+ motherboard

Newegg had the FX-9590 on sale... Trying to clear inventory?

the source is actually started via a guy at AMD and twitter.

I just got a 8350 so ill see how this all unfolds. Ive seen AMD with news of a FM2+ FX cpu.

 

[n0tiert]

sounds interesting, i wanted to get the FX-9590, but i´ll wait for this going gold to see how it performs

 

[GreiverBlade]

sub'd i took a FX 6300 for waiting to get a 8350 or a 9590 but waiting a bit more could be good ... just hope it's a 28nm Steamroller and possibly AM3+ if they keep the CMT block type well make it 16 core so it make a 8 core + 8 shared core
in fact my hope doesn't matter as long as it's a FX AM3+ i am fine : because that could translate in a price lowering for 8350/9370/9590 (technically with the 9590 being cheaper than a i7-4770K i don't mind if the price drop a bit more, it's almost on the i5-4670K where i am atm)

I still think it has to be on AM3+ (Just a hunch) because there has to be a reason for the Sapphire board that was just (Edit) announced along with the MSI boards and such. It would not make any sense if they released something on a dead platform just to have the next platform come around.

That is of course, unless there is some secret we have yet to see which is always a possibility.

Have you seen the Sapphire board in retail? I haven't seen it yet.

Should have said "announced" not "released".

 

[GLD]

I would be happy to see a 95w 8350. Now that would be sweet. The announced cpu, with it's AIO cooler will probably be another 220w chip. They could surprise us though as a pair of the previous high end FX chips had liquid. I forget, were they 125w or 140w chips?

Are you referring to this?

It could just be another 125 watt or around that area chip, I do not think its another 220Watt chip at least yet. Its probably just going to be a launch special edition.

 

[TheHunter]

apparently this isnt the only thing AMD will be bringing out soon... rumours of a new hawaii flagship card. So ive been reading the 290x isnt the full thing...

also seen this in all the hype, http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/am...with_integrated_pci_express_3_controller.html

why would you need pcie3 on a server cpu?!

Exactly, that's why I assumed maybe its this uber SteamRoller cpu in it, then it would own even Haswell-E for sure ^^

 

[Shambles1980]

ok so if the cpu comes with an aio as standard.. exactly where do you get a 120+2 power phase board to use it without horrible throttling, and giving you possible room to OC without little fires coming from the vicinity of the vrm ?

......................wow.

Not sure if bait...

EDIT: iirc, the last time that happened was with gigabyte boards + intel sockets...

 

[bubbleawsome]

What if it is just a 9590 rereleased with a cooler from astec (or whoever did the 295x2) and a 0.2Ghz bump? I hope for more but leave it to amd.

 

[Shambles1980]

ok a bit ott with the fire lol... but i definitely expect a lot of throttling with out pretty high power phase count.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

If you buy the right kit and know how to set a bios up there's no throttling.
Does your 5 phased adventure make you an expert now shambles

 

[Shambles1980]

dunno about expert lol. But i would chalk down some expirience points towards needing a much higher power phase for an amd chip compared to an intel one. and if you cant really oc a 6 core cpu on a 4+1 without throttling and they seem to think a new cpu will need water cooling as a standard one can only speculate on the power consumption which would imply the need for a pretty expensive board with a high vrm count.
but hey ho maybe it will run at 6ghz with 95w and the aio will put it at 55c max under stress test..
kinda doubt that but who knows..

I can give you a list of like 10 990fx (Pretty much every 990FX board on Newegg) boards that can overclock and AMD chip with out issues. You don't have a clue. Its been an obvious trend these last few years that AMD chips are indeed more power consuming, so congrats on stating the obvious.

You tend to just get the cheapest stuff you can and hope it works, because your wife won't let you get the nice stuff.
