Stop it AMD, just stop it, the Gigaherz Era is over, I am your fan, I buy your products, but it is silly to release a 5Ghz procesor when you can find something cooler, quieter, and much powerefficient than this and also runs faster.
If it runs at 5GHz reliably, then why the hell not?
There will be people who can justify it for their needs, there may even be the opportunity to use them as underclocked and undervolted parts as I bet they will be the crème de la crème of binned units.

That's a good point actually, I wonder if we'll see many (any) reviewers testing them vs existing CPUs at comparable clocks?
Actually, this chips are better than IB or Haswell on the same price in many things. All you have to do is determine what the main objective ... Buy a FX-8350 which is the same price of a i5 3350P can be an advantage or disadvantage, depends on what you intend. With this new FX-9590 will be the same and certainly will be cheaper than any i7.
And maybe exceed 6 ghz in OC and 6 ghz over 8 cores could be faster and cheaper than the i7 4770K ~ 4.5GHz and not all care about power consumption.
There is no way any of these chips are going to be 6ghz on 8 cores, not without exotic cooling anyway.
The 5ghz is a turbo frequency that more than likely doesn't affect all cores and is already dependent on having high end cooling.
The equivalent Intel chip would be a 3470 based on price.
People seem to be forgetting that this is what Bulldozer was originally intended for.
AMD lack the engineering resources to get it right first time, but they seem to be getting there.
Comparing it to the Pentium 4 is daft, that was an awful CPU that was killed off because the design overall didn't make sense.
DEC Alpha was the fastest CPU of its time, with a high clocking design. IBM Power is a high clocking design (they had 4.7GHz on air years ago on a 65nm process), and IMHO the best CPU currently available.
I shall watch with great interest to see how the next part pans out. If nothing else, as an engineer I find what AMD are doing much more interesting than Intel's quest for the most expensive laptop possible.
Not sure if serious?
Hopefully AMD concentrates on IPC rather than clockspeed for Steamroller... they are well behind the times and throwing watts at it is such a blunt instrument.
Don't be rude to other members, staff or otherwise --Steve.
Interesting how he says despite AMD's bravado, the 8 core 5GHz FX-9590 cpu is still no match for i7-4770K.

Interesting that when back when there was the GHz war between Intel and AMD, Intel was winning, but AMD had much better processors. Now that AMD has higher GHz than Intel, Intel has better processors. See a pattern here?
Honestly, no. You have cherry picked two moments in x86 in the decades of computing history that you feel make your point, and ignored all other architectures and times.
By that measure the 2.5GHz max Itanium should be the best achitecture ever, yet it is quite rightly ridiculed.
A good architecture is, like so much in life, about balance. In CPU design it is formalised as "Ahmdahl's law". Haswell is a descendant of the Pentium Pro, so lots of time for balance to be perfected. I don't think the Pentium 4 could have ever managed the kind of sweet spot that Haswell is at now if they had kept on the Netburst roadmap, so thankfully they killed it off.
The balance isn't right in the current AMD design, but that doesn't mean it is unfixable.
Anandtech confirm that base clock is 4.7, so yes the TDP really is 220W.

and AMD have said its OEM only
I am gonna be keeping an eye on this cpu to see how it compare to 8350 and intel.
Comes in at $920, a bit more expensive than the 8350 then!
