Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
unveiled its first ever eight-core processor
with a clock rate of 5GHz at E3 2013 -
Electronic Entertainment Expo, the annual
video game conference and show at the Los
Angeles today, reports PCMAG.
Named as FX-9590, it is became the most
powerful processor in the company's FX
family of CPUs. It will initially be sold in
gaming and multimedia desktop PCs
through AMD's system integrator partners,
though the chip maker appeared to leave
the door open for a standalone "Black
Edition" being made available at some point.
"The new FX 5GHz processor is an emphatic
performance statement to the most
demanding gamers seeking ultra-high
resolution experiences including AMD
Eyefinity technology," AMD corporate vice
president and general manager (client
products division) Bernd Lienhard said.
AMD also introduced a younger sibling of
FX-9590, called as FX-9370, and it's too a
eight-core processor but it is slight lower,
clocked at 4.7GHz with the chip maker's
Turbo Core 3.0 clock-throttling technology
engaged.
Both new chips utilize AMD's latest CPU core
architecture formerly code named Piledriver.
