Yup, its a power guzzler. First review I think.
Basically had the same conclusion I originally had.
"Sure, we could say that fanatical AMD overclockers will love the FX9590, but unless you have money to burn we can think of better ways to spend that ?700. When up against the Core i7 4770k or 3930k/3960x it is seriously outgunned. This is probably why AMD aren’t sampling the part directly to the press, aiming it at system builders. Again, we can’t imagine a system builder will want to cool this monster long term, while offering a warranty. There is only a 1 year warranty on the FX9590 too, so that is worth bearing in mind."
155 watts more than an overclocked 4770k.
These processors are for the hardcore AMD fanbois or the ignorant.
