AMD introduced new 8 core FX series processors decrease rates for high end chips

Although Intel was introducing a high-end unlocked 8-core "CPU" determined by its Haswell architecture this week, AMD is thinking about to briefing the particular press on new unlocked octa-core CPUs of a unique price.

But AMD aint doing head-to-head performance side by side comparisons between its latest FX-series processors and Intel’s top-shelf parts. AMD is competitive on prices, indentation the best CPUs versus Intel’s second- and third-tier processors: Like in series of Core i5 and Core i3.

AMD introduced three brand new "8 core" processors today, Like 4GHz FX-8370 and 3. 3GHz FX-8370E (200 Bucks for each), along with the 3. 2GHz FX 8320E (147 Bucks for each). AMD also reduced the rates on its high-end processors, including AMDs best-ever FX-9590, that is actually going for 230 Bucks.

Intel, meanwhile, expects to fetch 1000 Bucks for the fastest series of Haswell-E CPUs, intell introduced Core i7-5960X last week.

AMD is concentrating on two primary applications for the new CPU, Creation of the Content and gaming above 1080p resolution. But it’s also focusing on systems of budget-priced, explaining the postulatory “enthusiast game playing PC” powered by the CPU of FX-9590, a video card having a Radeon R9 290X massive graphic processor ever, and 16GB involving DDR3/2133 memory that might sell for 1499 bucks.

AMD says a person whos good in system building he  could market a “performance gaming PC” also with the FX-8370 CPU, a video card having a Radeon R9 285 GPU, and 16GB DDR3/1866 memory for only 1099 Bucks!!

In the community of content design, AMD says it is 8-core FX-8370 and also FX-9590 could appreciably outperform Intel’s quad-core Central i5-4690K in tasks such as converting images by RAW format in order to JPEG. But of course the time is everything near professional photographers and Video-graphers, Obviously a lot of them might be hoping to spend more money up front to obtain additional processing power for systems built all around Intel’s higher-end Core i7 CPUs.

 AMDs entire CPU technology is actually getting a bit long within the tooth. All of the companys octa-core processors like the three announced today is totally based in the Pile-driver micro-architecture this launched in the middle of 2k12. The Steamroller architectural mastery AMD announced earlier this season is limited to CPUs with at most four cores.

In which Intel builds the fourth-generation Core processors with 22nm manufacturing processor, AMD still uses 32 nm process to develop it parts for FX-series. And the 5th-generation Cores processors, As Intel is about to launch are meant using a process of 14nm.

AMD also lags poorly on power consumption. Intel’s most highly effective consumer CPUs, the particular Haswell-E series, get the cool thermal design power "TDP" ratings around 140 watts. AMD’s greatest CPU, The FX-9590, incorporates a TDP of 220 watts. AMD’s new FX-8370 do a lil better, with any TDP of 125 wts; and its FX-8370E along with FX-8320E both get TDPs of Ninety-five watts.
