AMD Unleashes First-Ever 5 GHz Processor

it really is true... cant wait for the performance.. i doubt with its TDP, it doesnt suit to run on stock in our atmosphere...

MacClipper can u get ur hands on this new toy? lol

 

[simon45op]

really hope amd can get back into the game

 

[MacClipper]

Sure, I go ask rightaway.

Feels really good to see renewed vigour and interest in AMD components among the fan base, thanks for posting this thread.

This current generation is base on Piledriver or steamroller?

Check out the TDP and recommended coolers! Looks more like a marketing exercise.

Pics source: AMD FX-9000 @ 5 GHz, TDP 220W - Recenze

AMD didn't announce the price for this set of chips.. hopefully its still affordable for most folks.

we r aware of the 220W TDP.

wow now then i know FX-9590 comes with HD7990? is this info reliable?

if it really comes with 7990 i doubt it'll be cheap man..

7990 alone is alrdy S$1600 liao...

At those clocks, whatever that's left of PD power efficiency is gone to the dogs.

Hopefully, it isn't just some paper launch or vapourware... or as said, some marketing exercise... for 1200W megaPSUs.


PS: Lucky I do have a few units of > 1kW megaPSUs all ready.

Think you read wrongly, that's the recommended card to use with each CPU model.

i dun see the need of using 1200W PSU unless it really builds in with 7990.

oh ya thanks for correcting me.

cant wait to get my hands on this chip too.

 

[MacClipper]

With their component recommendations esp. with their top HD 7990 card, think they are trying to showcase a over-the-top AMD rig hence the megaPSU recommendation too.

Hazarding a guess there.

Think we can start a MAD-4-AMD Klub ®™© right here in this forum already with the few founding members spotted in this thread.

Lol sure. Count me in.

Bet this chip will also be delayed like the 8350. It takes forever to reach SLS.

Guess I gotta buy from amazon again.

Having TDP 220W and curbing the heat isn't much an issue imho, just pair with good cooler unlike Intel these days what is the point of having TDP of 84W and "crappy TIM"? and getting the 5GHz magic number getting harder and even water cooling can't tamed it

It's sandy bridge < Ivy bridge < Haswell lol

But all is not over with Haswell ES yet

Current GPUs are in the range of TDP 200+W and even more and can be tamed with air cooling so it's feasible

 

[zypheus]

They mean 5Ghz Before overclocking or after? OMG if its before wont it be a crazy beast? So now Shd I get Haswell or this... ARGH !!!!

 

[Ferolare]

i see thing as something to wet our appetite while waiting for steamroller...

 

[wwenze]

I'm more interested in the stock cooler and mobo for 220W.
