AMD FX-9590 5 GHz Processor Benchmarks Surface, Great Performance At A Price
Eagerly waiting to see how the so-called 5 GHz processor from camp AMD performs in the real world? Well, some lucky user over at VR-Zone forums got a chance to get this hands dirty with the yet-to-be on sale AMD FX-9590 processor, and decided to post his benchmark scores with all of us (much to our joy).
While the performance of AMD's fastest and hottest babe till date is no-doubt good, it comes at the price of an exorbitantly high 220W TDP, and of course a near $1000 price tag (if reports turn out to be 100% true). The CPU vCore is running at a high 1.5v, but then again we've always seen AMD chips operate at higher voltages than their Intel counterparts. No doubt, despite all this, system builders are going to have a gala time going ape over the 5 GHz FX-9590.
More results follow.

The people who buy this are not going to be joe schmo, and will probably already know about comparisons with other intel cpu's, they are going to buy this because it is specially binned by amd and are probably going to put it under LN2 etc.
I don't really see the point of arguing over the price tbh, If you think it is too expensive then you probably can't afford it or don't understand the point of it.
AMD obviously know what they are doing releasing this and are targeting a specific market/person.
I SMASH them benches with my cpu at 4.9ghz or abouts!
wtf amd, this really is just an oc'd 8350?
and i thought it had a 2.7 stock cpunb? why run 2.2ghz?
:roll:.............wow that made my day! ....just waiting for a bridge buyer to post their pre-order
at stock speeds its on par with a 5ghz 8350, which is heavily dependant on RAM!
a 5ghz 8350 needs about 1.5-1.6v for 5ghz this 9590 stock 1.5v. the 8350 has a cpunb of 2200mhz stock and overclocks to about 2700mhz max, 9590 2700mhz stock
i believe this chip with the right mobo and RAM will smash the hell out of old AMD records and MOAR!
however, even the best setup wont cover up the fact that this is an overclocked $200 chip being masqueraded as an elitist part and being sold at $1000.
and for the cpunb, more voltage would cure that lol
most 990FXs will probably handle this, just not an overclocked 9590. the phase design would need to be decent. and from what ive heard, theres a few manufacturers releasing updated bioses for this. - not my words!
Also who really cares what the tdp is. I don't think these are meant for joe to put in his machine with a $40 air cooler, if you buy this then you know the cooling requirements and will have appropriate cooling for it.
Bear in mind that for a supposedly poor company, AMD generally carried $5-7bn in assets against less than $2bn in debt up until the ATI acquisition.
@ insanegamer do you think my chip is pulling 125 watts at 5ghz 1.52core volts on an 8+2 crosshair v , I've no doubt the crosshair Z would have no issues and if mine gets a bios update id be able to run one though my ocing would be limited.
