First FX-9590 benchmarks

[piesquared]

Oh the analogy wasn't intended for the purpose you folks think, but it did bring out the hater-brigade which is very much helpful info.

Thanks for raising your hands and getting your circle-jerk on. The information is helpful.

hmm, are terms like 'circle-jerk' allowed on AT? I'll have to look but i'm pretty sure I received an infraction for that in the past.

The FX-9000 octo cores are a pretty darn good release from AMD. It's had people engaging since it's leak a couple months ago, mostly positive too. intel's 4 core +4 threads are a cheaper alternative now, so if people don't want to buy a 5GHz or 4.7GHz FX they can always get a 4770 or 8350.

I ran AIDA chache and memory bench and noticed that while my scores were lower in bandwidth (MB/s) the latency was significantly less. What would this indicate, anything?

And most of you got an infraction for it. Keep it up, and a vacation is in your future.

why would I get an infraction?

monstercameron, openly debating a moderator over their moderator related actions is not allowed in any sub-forum outside of the Moderator Discussions subforum.

If you have a question for a moderator then you post it in the Mod Disc forum and nowhere else.

Your post, as added here to this thread in the CPU subforum, is off-topic and is contributing to a thread-derail. That alone is not good (infraction/vacation) but you are new here so we will let it slide this time...do not make it a habit because part of our job is to break people of their bad habits or see them out the door if they can't behave themselves.

Because you have the nerve to not bow down to our Intel overlords in an AMD thread?


Baiting is also not allowed

So far in this thread, we have personal insults, cussing, thread derailments, trolling, and very bad information (the last is not actionable)

And baiting.

If you guys don;t knock it off, I am locking this thread.

I think you are right. I really want to like AMD and I actually do have an FX 8320 that does a great job of running an ESXi System in a lab environment, I have to say the 5 Ghz bit is a stunt. Cherry pick some 8350's and OC the crap out of them and you get a 220 watt fire breathing monster (and I don't mean this in a good way). 220 watt CPU's just will not cut it in this market place. Realistically, not many people buy $1,000 cpus in the best of circumstances and when they do its usually because they have a very specific purpose in mind. Basically almost no one is going to buy one of these.

So this is really a stunt to show enthusiasts how much an 8320 or 8350 might overclock and drive sales of those CPU's. In that light, an 8320 at Micro center for $149, when overclocked might actually perform not that far off the $1K 220 watt monster.

You may be correct. For example, why is Johnnie Walker Blue so expensive.

(Not to derail - Everyone but Ra should ignore this )

That is on default or OC for the GT2 4600 ??

OC, of course

This thread has gone poorly enough that we're going to cut our losses and close it. We'll start a new thread free from the baggage of this abomination
