5-GHz form AMD!!!

News conference E3 can not seem to stop coming. One of the latest concerns the AMD FX series processors (that they are in themselves still do not have graphics). AMD has in fact introduced two new models - the FX-9590 with eight cores and a maximum Turbo clock speed of 5 GHz and the FX-9370 with the same number of cores, but lower Turbo clock speed of 4.7 GHz. As in the case of faster processors comes first x86 processor that is without manual overclocking reached clock speed of 5 GHz, it is clear that AMD praises with this characteristic. Of course, this is just marketing deception since than raw clock speed processor performance determines the ability of processors to process more instructions per cycle, and the AMD processors the last several generations does not really excel.Although the new processors belong to a series FX-9000 that would suggest that they are based on a new architecture, AMD has made the same trick for a long time together with Nvidia running when it comes to certain graphics cards - renaming the old architecture. The new FX's so based on the Piledriver architecture, as well as their predecessors.In addition to the maximum Turbo clock speed, number of cores and core architecture, AMD did not reveal much more about the new processors. It was emphasized that system integrators will start to use the summer it would be very likely could mean that the retail availability will be limited. The reason for this is not officially listed, but it is not hard to guess - excessive consumption. Already namely the old FX's had a TDP of 125 watts while these new could have been more, which imposes more rigorous requirements in front of the cooling system.
