| Pemalite said: The FX is probably AMD's largest blunder to date, the FX 9590 I've seen selling for over $1,100 AUD here which is almost twice as expensive as the Core i7 3930K, which it still doesn't out-perform, however regular gamers really aren't the target of that chip, it's targeted at overclocking enthusiasts and companies like Dell who can advertise "5ghz" to attract buyers, it's actually very similar to Intels strategy during the Pentium 4 days. |
While the FX9590 is an absolute non-consumer oriented product with a non-consumer friendly price, the 9370 priced at 329-349 depending where you look is not too bad. But like I said before, you could probably buy an 8320 for 160 and overclock it to 4.7ghz to match a 9370.
