First Pre-built Desktop with AMD FX-9590 Begins Rolling Out

[btarunr]

Despite its $900-ish retail presence, AMD's 5 GHz eight-core processor, the FX-9590, was designed to be an OEM part, where OEMs could deploy the right motherboard and cooling solution for the 220W TDP chip. One of the first OEMs to [dare to] come out with one such contraption is Japan's Mouse Computer. The company's G-Tune Masterpiece a1500BA1 desktop includes an AMD FX-9590 processor, and Radeon HD 8990 (re-branded HD 7990 "Malta") graphics card as standard equipment.

The Masterpiece a1500BA1 uses a Cooler Master Seidon 120XL to tame the 220W AMD FX-9590, and an unannounced MSI 990FXA-GD80 V2 motherboard to seat it. Other components include Kingston HyperX DDR3-1866 MHz 16 GB dual-channel memory, Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD, an additional 3 TB HDD, a Blu-ray writer, and an unknown 1200W 80 Plus Gold-certified PSU. Windows 8 64-bit comes pre-installed. Based on the 32 nm "Vishera" silicon, AMD FX-9590 is an eight-core processor in the AM3+ package, with 4.80 GHz nominal and 5.00 GHz TurboCore frequency. The 5.00 GHz Turbo state spools up for all eight cores. Backed by a 1-year warranty (besides individual component warranties), the Masterpiece a1500BA1 is priced at a staggering 449,800 JPY (US $4,500).

$4500? What a steal!

 

[Relayer]

8990, huh! LOL. I understand the whole rebranding back when it originally occurred. Seems pretty pointless at this point in time, though.

What a bargain

Well, I never knew they were allowed to rebrand like that. I mean, I know the GTX 770 is just a highly overclocked GTX 680 with Boost 2.0. But really, 8990 is just a 7990 Malta reference? With no difference (I'm only guessing that).

Terrible tactics.

Yes it is from both gfx companies, and they're exactly as bad as each other and doing exactly the same thing.

Even says V2 on the box.

Only a damn fool would spend that kind of money on that box.

The MSI 990FXA-GD80 V2 has been out since the FX 8350 was released and is only a bios revision board with no other changes according to msi.
