AMD new fx-9000 series CPUs run at 5 Ghz

AMD FX-9000 series processors include the flagship FX-9590 which would feature eight x86 Piledriver core and comes at a max turbo clock of 5 GHz with base frequency of 4.7 GHz. These are the absolute limits for a normal processor but the best part is that due to the higher TDP of 220W which may require additional cooling offers additional room for overclocking.


The FX-9000 series also includes the FX-9370 which comes with a max turbo speed of 4.7 GHz with base clock speed of 4.4 GHz. Again, this is much higher than the speeds AMD offers on their FX-8000 Vishera lineup. The FX-9370 also comes with a 220W TDP but additional room for overclocking is available. Both processors come with the latest AMD Turbo Boost 3.0 technology which dynamically optimizes performance across CPU cores and enable maximum computing for the most intensive workloads. The pricing has not been mentioned.

That's a bit less than double the TDP of the fx-8000, and they use the same AM3+ socket.
What the heck will you use to cool this beast?

Keep an eye out for reviews.

Here is my hope that they got something right.

8 32-bit cores, sounds bad, to be honest I don't know what the disadvantages are. Phenom II use 64-bit cores, don't they?

You know something I think AMD is pulling Shenanigans on everyone because seriously they could have done this already I think what they have been doing is purposely doing bad and teasing us with Chips with slight Improvements :sarc:

I'm not trying to bring a Conspiracy theory out there but it sure as hell sounds like one I already ran my chip to 5ghz with out double the TDP so how is this supposed to make everything better by just giving it 5 ghz and potential extra clocking when normal people are doing it already ?????

Hi there
X-86 -- who uses those any more -- it's a bit like using old tin cans and bits of string for telephone communication instead of fibre optic for physical lines and and microwaves (1.2 - 2.2 GHZ) for mobiles. Even a tiny tablet has an equivalent of a 64 bit CPU.

I'll take a decent i7 over any of this AMD stuff any day --and the newer lower power consuming Intel Haswell chips look fantastically good too. Intel has done its homework correctly this time.

http://www.theverge.com/2013/6/1/43...aswell-processors-heres-what-you-need-to-know

With these the AMD offering is bound to be DOA and truly DAB (Dead on Arrival and Dead and Buried).

These Haswells just about blow anything AMD has just straight out of the water -- AMD it was nice knowing you but your time is well and truly up now I'm afraid. The reduction in Power consumption is also absolutely astounding too making portable devices which use these have much longer battery times. These are also intended for high end machines as well as portables.

Be aware also that increasing the number of cores also imposes restraints on the system as the overhead of managing these increases very quickly as the number of cores is increased - for example 8 cores won't give you 8 * the performance of a single core.

Cheers

What do you mean?

They seem to be a stopgap until they get the Kaveri on the shelves, that should be a pretty interesting product actually, if the HUMA terchnology they use works as intended.

Now I'm going to open a thread about the first releases of Kaveri as well.

I don't know what the disadvantages are for a 32-bit core compared to a 64-bit.

 

[bobafetthotmail]

ok, but where is written that it's a 32-bit core? Pliledriver is a 32 nm core, but that's the smallest possible size of the manufacturing process (nm stands for nanometers). It's an AMD64 instruction set so it's a 64-bit. Or not?

 

[theveterans]

Just hope the new FX-9590 at stock speed is faster or at least on the level of an i5 4670K at 4.0 GHz speeds, and the price is around ~ $ 189.99. This would definitely attract consumers and make Intel run for their money.

Where are you guys getting 32 bit from?

They probably meant 32 nm process like bobafetthotmail wrote. The CPU is definitely x86-64 not x86 only. Anyways, it would be absurd if AMD's CPU can only support 32-bit Operating Systems.

Yea I'm saying that too it's been 64bit when Athlons were the rage

I was reading another article on this, I hope they turn out to be great chips btw.

Here's an extract from the article -

AMD had a surprise for those attending the Electronics Entertainment Expo (E3) last night: the unveiling of two new flagship entries in its FX family of processors, including what the company claims is the world's first 5GHz processor.

Now, before you get too excited, there's a caveat there: while the Piledriver-based eight-core FX-9590 does indeed state on its box that it runs at 5GHz, it does so only under conditions suited to AMD's Turbo Core 3.0. The speed at which the chip runs when Turbo Core 3.0 can't be used - such as when all eight of the processing cores are fully loaded, or when the temperature of the chip reaches too high a level - is somewhat lower than that headline-grabbing figure.

Too bad it'll need a 240mm or better Radiator to cool that beast lol

 

[MadSupra354]

In the first line, x86 piledriver core. Probably covered by what theveterans said, I'm just being a derp here.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Seriously I think this is just for people to lazy to Oc on there own

I mean damn are they offering liquid refrigeration with this chip or what because if they do that lol i'll bite

 

[theveterans]

We'll see when a review shows up. Hopefully, we don't need fancy cooling for this chip, and I'd be really impressed if this chip at its base frequency of 4.7 GHz can be stressed 24/7 on a stock AM3+ cooler.

Haswell has been a disappointment in the overclocking department from what I've seen.

While x86 refers to 32 bit in some cases (operating systems, etc.),

in this case it refers to an microprocessor architecture started by intel. and doesn't imply 32 or 64 bits.

Early on there were x86-16 (16 bit) processors, then x86-32 (32 bit), then x86-64/AMD84 (64 bit) and finally multi core.

 

[alphanumeric]

x86 as in not ARM, at least that's the way I read it.

 

[Iforgot]

x86 or 8086 > 286 > 386 > 486 (ha ha) > 586 (start pentium) till now AMD interrupted this (or kicked the Giant in the toe) with the Athlon, which was 64 bit and still with x86 capable.
I think Intel wanted to either have 32 bit or 64 bit, but AMD disrupted that.

Could be interesting with both AMD and Intel annoying ARM. AMD making a "out of the box" 4.7G processor???? why?? If the power consumption is so high, I don't see the point.
But then they may have othr plans.. who knows, time will tell.

From what I've read, the Haswell's power consumption is only good at idle, at usage, it's more than the previous IvyBridge, but then that maybe because of the more powerful graphics part in it.

who knows, time will tell

yeah both phenom and athelon have 64-bit cores, not sure why the hell amd think its a good idea to take a "5gh" cpu and put it on a 32bit chipset. thats like taking a nvidia titan and trying to put it in a computer from like 2000
