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.

TK-42, L310, L110He had turbo turned off and the frequency hard set to 5ghz I wouldn't be suprised if the real CPU is different.
Wow, so that's all this over priced cpu is :wtf:
Is it on the VR-Zone forum that the person said they disabled turbo?Actually, it's just a new bin that is still with in AMD spec which could be different depending on how much your FX took to be stable. Even then, even an overclocked CPU may not pass certain tests as the P3 1.16Ghz did for Tom's and [H] back in the day.
guess reviews are coming soon;) price converted... 1018$
My 8350 did 5 GHz, too, would be quite interesting to compare differences.
Looses in synthetic bs but competes with the 3960x@4.4ghz in games. Interesting this may mean the 9370 with a slight overclock can hold its own pretty well.
i want mine to hit 9.5k today 3d11 physics
just an oc'd version it looks like. 9590 at 5ghz for £700...... or i could go through a few 8350s lol
unless someone overclocks this to 6.2ghz on water or they reach 9+ ghz on dice/ln2, what a waste
to quote: Kitguru says: An interesting release from AMD to target system builders, but we can’t help but feel it is a little like bringing a knife to a gunfight.
It's for people whom are trying to break records and people whom want memorabilia of having a limited edition CPU for sentimental reasons or for financial appreciation to resell.
AMD FX9590 price drops from £719.99 to £659.99

This chip is so bad it makes Bulldozer look like God's gift to CPUs.
obviously its an highly binned 8350, but a lil more refined. but i get the feeling motherboards cant handle it, as to make reviews so diverse.
worth the cash NO, unless someone breaks 10ghz on extreme cooling.
AMD still has a long way to go to compete in the intel arena but strictly gaming the 9590 does quite well.
Sorry for the link but every time I tried to insert it properly the page would error.
