That is a very sensible price for that chip! :eek:

Now then, the cost of a motherboard able to support it ...

That didn't take long. :roll:
I guess its only a matter of time before all those people that railed against Nvidia for insulting Titan owners by releasing the GTX 780 and devaluing their purchase will now do likewise for those poor early (4 weeks ago) adopters of the FX-9590 :rolleyes:
 
5GHz Smartphone?? That's even a worse product than the 9590. If one can find proper use for a 1GHz Dual Core phone I'd be surprised.

I bog my Galaxy S3 down all the time. It's easy to max out a dual core phone.
 
You have no earthly Idea how TDP works

Not my fault you missed the point. Oh well. Try connecting the different systems to a watt meter and get back to me.

AsRock Fatal1ty 990FX update: AsRock support contacted me two weeks ago stating that bios v 1.90 does support the latest monstrosity that AMD calls an FX processor. Figured I'd throw it out there in case somebody wants to waste money.

Surely you missed the point ;), a month ago and with the price drop they are looking a bit better
