\nSYDNEY, Australia\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 <\/b>12 June 2013 \u2013 <\/b>AMD<\/a> unveiled its most powerful member of the legendary AMD FX family of CPUs<\/a>, the world\u2019s first commercially available 5 GHz CPU processor, the AMD FX-9590. These 8-core CPUs deliver new levels of gaming and multimedia performance for desktop enthusiasts. AMD FX-9000 Series CPUs will be available initially in PCs through system integrators.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt E3 this week, AMD demonstrated why it is at the core of gaming,\u201d said Bernd Lienhard, corporate vice president and general manager, Client Products Division at AMD. \u201cThe new FX 5 GHz processor is an emphatic performance statement to the most demanding gamers seeking ultra-high resolution experiences including AMD Eyefinity technology. This is another proud innovation for AMD in delivering the world\u2019s first commercially available 5 GHz processor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAMD continues to push the envelope when it comes to desktop capabilities and power performance,\u201d said Wallace Santos, CEO and founder of MAINGEAR. \u201cIn unveiling the world\u2019s first 5 GHz 8-core CPU, AMD continues to lead the way in innovation while providing our customers with a best-in-class experience.

The new 5 GHz FX-9590 and 4.7 GHz FX-9370 feature the \u201cPiledriver\u201d architecture, are unlocked for easy overclocking and pave the way for enthusiasts to enjoy higher CPU speeds and related performance gains1<\/sup>. Additionally, these processors feature AMD Turbo Core 3.0 technology to dynamically optimise performance across CPU cores and enable maximum computing for the most intensive workloads.<\/p>\n

AMD was the first to break the 1 GHz barrier in May of 2000<\/a> and continues to set the standard in technology innovation including the first Windows compatible 64-bit PC processor<\/a> and the first native dual-core and quad-core processors<\/a>. AMD also introduced the first APU<\/a> (unifying CPU and Radeon\u2122 graphics on the same chip) and the first x86 quad-core SoC<\/a>, continuing forward with HSA architectures and programming<\/a> models.<\/p>\n
