amd still trying to compete - to release 5GHZ 8 core part

FX-9590 which has a top turbo speed of 5 GHz and a power draw north of 220 WATTS.

Well that should draw some attention. Glad to see they are trying to stay in business. Too bad I can't use that 5Ghz in my laptop to edit vids.

i'm very disappointed, for about 2 years now there have been rumors of a 5 module 10 core high end bulldozer based cpu in the works, that would have been a much better offering than a 220w 5ghz (under turbo) 4 module 8 core part.

i would also have liked to see a standard clocked cpu with a massive L1 or maybe an integrated gpu, but this?

New CPU tapeout and silicon real estate aren't free. Binning is.
