No demarcation FX-octal woe blues
Bought mine, an octal Fx when the Ryzen fireworks went off, a bomb by
industry standards, at least for octals. I swear to God, they're getting all teary-eyed about this, people who know better talking about buying them for the vintage retro-aspect, and such, unresistably drawn back into a sheer haze of mind-blowing value. Now that they're a third less. No, but wait, there's more and that's not quite true: AMD FX-9590 8-core 4.7 GHz Socket AM3+ 220W Black Edition Desktop Processor FD9590FHHKWOF ($80-ish) That's what costs now what I paid -- with winter coming on I suppose I could regret another space heater, dedicated fuse box to be sure AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor $64.99 Frequency: 4.0/4.2GHZ (Base/Overdrive) Power Wattage: 125W I paid the 9590 price on instead an E-suffix series @ 3.2-3.8 "Turbo" spread & 95-watt. Still, I must confess, a sullen 5Ghz does tend weigh in for one $80 Beastie Boy. |
