AMD ha introdotto due nuovi processori a otto core nell'ambito della linea di prodotti consumer FX. I chip sono siglati FX-9590 e FX-9370: il primo si fa notare poichč č stato configurato per lavorare a 5GHz in modalitą Turbo, ovvero senza la necessitą di un overclocking eseguito dall'utente.
AMD, tuttavia, promette un'ottima propensione in ambito gaming e overclocking per entrambi i nuovi processori, i quali peraltro vantano la realizzazione dei core in accordo alla consolidata architettura "Piledriver".
Sia il processore FX-9590 che quello siglato FX-9370, la cui frequenza di clock massima č pari a 4.7GHz in modalitą Turbo, supportano in effetti la tecnologia proprietaria AMD Turbo Core 3.0, con la quale la velocitą dei core viene adeguata automaticamente in funzione del carico di lavoro da gestire.
AMD ha reso noto che al momento le nuove cpu non saranno introdotte nel mercato retail ma saranno fornite esclusivamente ai system integrator e saranno dunque acquistabili attraverso i PC gią assemblati nel corso dell'estate.

AMD today unveiled its most powerful member of the legendary AMD FX family of CPUs, the world's first commercially available 5 GHz CPU processor, the AMD FX-9590. These 8-core CPUs deliver new
levels of gaming and multimedia performance for desktop enthusiasts. AMD FX-9000 Series CPUs will be available initially in PCs through system integrators.
"At E3 this week, AMD demonstrated why it is at the core of gaming," said Bernd Lienhard, corporate vice president and general manager, Client Products Division at AMD. "The new FX 5 GHz processor
is an emphatic performance statement to the most demanding gamers seeking ultra-high resolution experiences including AMD Eyefinity technology. This is another proud innovation for AMD in
delivering the world's first commercially available 5 GHz processor."
"AMD continues to push the envelope when it comes to desktop capabilities and power performance," said Wallace Santos, CEO and founder of MAINGEAR. "In unveiling the world's first 5 GHz 8-core
CPU, AMD continues to lead the way in innovation while providing our customers with a best-in-class experience. We are thrilled to be part of this exciting launch."
The new 5 GHz FX-9590 and 4.7 GHz FX-9370 feature the "Piledriver" architecture, are unlocked for easy overclocking and pave the way for enthusiasts to enjoy higher CPU speeds and related
performance gains. Additionally, these processors feature AMD Turbo Core 3.0 technology to dynamically optimize performance across CPU cores and enable maximum computing for the most intensive
workloads.
AMD was the first to break the 1 GHz barrier in May of 2000 and continues to set the standard in technology innovation including the first Windows compatible 64-bit PC processor and the first
native dual-core and quad-core processors. AMD also introduced the first APU (unifying CPU and Radeon graphics on the same chip) and the first x86 quad-core SoC, continuing forward with HSA
architectures and programming models.
The new AMD FX CPUs will be available from system integrators globally beginning this summer. Two models will be available:
- FX-9590: Eight "Piledriver" cores, 5 GHz Max Turbo
- FX-9370: Eight "Piledriver" cores, 4.7 GHz Max Turbo
