[quote]The AMD FX-9590 is an eight core CPU. Another new processor, the FX-9370, runs at 4.7 GHz. Both processors will be available in July and pricing will be announced then, according to the company.
"For gamers, it's higher frame rates," said Matt Davis, a marketing manger with AMD. He said that gamers can play across multiple screens.
At its E3 booth, AMD had a demonstration of game play across five high definition displays with a total resolution of 9600 by 1080 pixels. The game footage played smoothly across the displays that wrapped nearly 180 degrees around the gamer. [/quote]

Pretty cool
[QUOTE=The golden;40999060]And yes, before anybody asks - they have massively changed and improved the architecture since the initial Bulldozer launch.[/QUOTE]
This is still Piledriver. And "massively" is pushing it.
[quote]Davis said there would be benefits to non-gamers as well. "You can do more with Office applications like PowerPoint," he said.
"Double click on any application and it will open immediately." [/quote]
Oh man! That would be awesome!
Framerate of games is largely dependant on the graphics card. This kind of processing power will benefit vfx artists, people who render out alot of video footage.
Ok AMD, let's see how they perform and we can talk.
[QUOTE=garry;40999084]Oh man! That would be awesome![/QUOTE]
I think they should just let the product do the talking.

If only that applied to Planetside 2.
[QUOTE=Swebonny;40999189]If only that applied to Planetside 2.[/QUOTE]
Or Skyrim
What does the first one clock in at, and how many cores does the second one have?
actualy it is the "max turbo" that is at 5ghz, meaning it is not 8 cores clocked at 5ghz all the time
[QUOTE=cani;40999206]What does the first one clock in at, and how many cores does the second one have?[/QUOTE]
They're both just higher-binned FX-8350s. Both have 4 modules, they vary only in frequency.

And the speed of a video editing program is only related to CPU speed.
See I can make up statements too.
[QUOTE=mblunk;40999200]Or Skyrim[/QUOTE]
In Planetside 2 isn't that due to bad optimization and in Skyrim it's an engine that doesn't properly support multicore?
[QUOTE=mblunk;40999200]Or Skyrim[/QUOTE]
Or Garry's Mod.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;40999081]This is still Piledriver. And "massively" is pushing it.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, this. It still shares the horrible...not design flaw, but failure of good design, with the shared floating point resources. With piledriver you have boosted IPC a bit, and they've been bumping clocks, but it's not some massive architectural overhaul. This is a bad solution for them, more so than Intel, because their chips run hotter and have higher power usage to begin with. Massively is just wrong, it's past pushing it.

Your PC only runs as fast as it's slowest part. If your GPU can handle Crysis 3 on ultra but yourr CPU is a Pentium 4 you're not going to get high framerates.
But guuuuuuys.
5 GHZ!
In seriousness, I'm gonna hold judgement untill I see some benchmarks.
I kinda wanna grant them a massively successful CPU but I'm doubting.

I said "largely dependent", not "entirely dependent". Learn to read.
The CPU has very little work to do when it comes to games. It's tasked with AI, networking, game logic, coordination with the GPU and physics (and even physics is being moved to the GPU now). These tasks require little CPU utilization.
Of course, this doesn't apply 100% across the board - all rules have exceptions. Getting an 8 core 5ghz processor over a 4 core 3 ghz processor will benefit you very little, whereas getting a graphics card with twice as many CUDA cores will benefit you greatly when it comes to framerate.
Applications such as video editing have yet to fully embrace GPGPU, and are fully CPU bound (some features such as media encoding and preview have hardware acceleration) hence will benefit more from a bigger CPU.
APUs are a different story.
[QUOTE=The golden;40999060]And yes, before anybody asks - they have massively changed and improved the architecture since the initial Bulldozer launch.[/QUOTE]
I'm running on an older bulldozer and frankly it's still pretty awesome. Or at least it's awesome for the chicken scratch that was paid for it. Good CPU choice for a game development rig, since it's benchmarks outside of actual in-game rendering are more comparable to high end Intel cpus of the same generation.

Tell that to Rockstar.

Raw graphic stuff often does. But AI, physics, collisions, multiplayer tends to depend hugely on your CPU.
That's a impressive speed if I do say so myself.
Hopefully they don't miscount the transistors by about 200 million (or something like that) again, Like the bulldozer :v:
well let's see if their product is as good as they say. Intel needs some competition
The problem with this CPU is that it will have a TDP of 220 Watts which is insanely high.
[QUOTE=Folstream;40999878]The problem with this CPU is that it will have a TDP of 220 Watts which is insanely high.[/QUOTE]
Well, it's simply an overclocked FX-8350 so that's not really surprising. They better bundle a great cooler with this.

Well, you try to sit there by a big microscope counting them all!
Hopefully this won't flop because I've been looking for a powerful enough CPU to play all my physics extensive games
How well are these supposed to do with the next generation of console parts? I don't think my Q6600 and 6gb ddr2 800 ram will be cutting it
[QUOTE=The golden;41000247]There is one very important part of the picture you're not looking at here: Price.
Current-gen AMD CPU's range from $120 to $200. For a CPU that can handle almost any game you can chuck at it (lol planetside) that is extremely cheap. I believe the current Bulldozer 4core is $120 here in Canada.[/QUOTE]
The i3s are around that price range as well.
The segment that AMD actually wins out in is the motherboards - in general you get a lot more stuff on there compared to the Intel ones.
I wonder what this processor can be overclocked to..
