A day or two ago I showed your this twitter photo from AMD's vice president of channel sales Roy Taylor showed a photo of a box with a new FX processor. The SKU indicates that the CPU is paired with liquid cooling. It is now confirmed that the processors is not new, but in fact the 8-core AMD FX-9590 Flagship Piledriver Processor. The product will now be released in retail likely for a much better price and with liquid cooling. 



The processor was the first to achieve the 5 GHz core frequency as a standard operating clock speed however was met with criticism due to a price of $999 US and a 220W TDP. The FX-9590 processor packs 8 cores and 8 threads with 8 MB of L3 cache, core clock of 4.7 GHz and boost clock of 5.0 GHz.


The highly (over) clocked FX-8350 Vishera-processor has a rather spicy 220W TDP is thus being re-launched, this time for the complete kit at At $360 USD.
