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.

If i had 1000$ for a CPU, and it's just my opinion, i would kinda rather have the 3970X. But that's only my opinion and i'm sure many will choose the AMD FX chip. I think.
My chip scored 10.62 at 5.5GHz too
Take that :nutkick: AMD
Other benchmarks, 3D mark 11 for AMD is ~7900, I get over 10,000 and that's with a 77W CPU!! and similar graphics card....
Its good AMD is trying but they need to do better if they want to be taken seriously. 220W is just frightening.....but I'm sure someone will buy it because it has 5 Gigalertzzzzz!!!
x264 is a better benchmark and notice its scores

It reminds me 500 series of nVidia which were ovens...
Good job AMD. :shadedshu
This thing better break every overclocking record out there, because it has bad joke written all over it otherwise.
Ln2 chip yet ok for intel to sell extremes xeons etc it is what it is NOT FOR YOU, or me for that matter
Sorry but I don't understand the AMD apologists on this one. Intel's uber expensive stuff doesn't get beaten by chips that cost 1/2 to 2/3rds as much.

You have a short and selective memory.Why else would you buy this CPU? If you bought it for performance alone the jokes on you.
