AMD FX-9590 AM3+ Processor

[Ian]

Benchmark Reviews check out the AMD FX-9590 AM3+ Processor, which runs at 4.7Ghz stock speed:

The AMD FX-9590 packs a punch with 8 Piledriver cores running at a stock 4.7GHz and boosting up to a maximum 5GHz. With the release of the FX-8370 CPU, AMD has dropped the MSRP of the FX-9590 to $229. Although the new MSRP has been active for a few weeks, you may still have trouble finding the FX-9590 for that price. At the time of this writing, the FX-9590 still costs around $259. When the price does drop, AMD’s flagship processor, the FX-9590, will compete very closely in price with Intel’s i5-4670 CPU. Before we jump into a closer look at the FX-9590, let’s take a look at AMD’s current FX lineup.

Is the the first to break through 5GHz CPU speed?

Yep, I think the FX-9590 is the first consumer CPU to reach 5GHZ, seems we've been teetering close to that speed for some time now!
