AMD to Reduce Prices on FX-9000, Some other FX Processors: Completely new Prices Exposed

Superior Micro Devices programs to significantly reduce prices of AMD FX-9000 “Centurion” microprocessors in a bid to cause them to more competitive towards Intel Corporations Core i5 (Devil’s Canyon) along with other chips from its rival. In improvement, the company expects to slightly lower prices of some other FX-series chips and discontinue older and lower'end models.

Beginning from September 1, 2014, AMD's FX-9370 "eight cores, 5. 40/4. 70GHz, 8MB L2 cache, 8MB L3 cache, 220W design power) will surely cost around 199 Bucks! when ordered in mass portions in trays, whilst the top of the range "FX-9590" (eight cores, 4. 70/5. 0GHz, 8MB L2 cache, 8MB L3 cache, 220W thermal design power) is going to be priced at around 215 Bucks!!

The costs of the FX-9370 & FX-9590 will possibly be reduced around 23% to 28%, respectively. Given the little difference between pricing from the FX-9370 and the FX-9590, it is unclear whether or not the former will actually be bought by performance enthusiasts.

Besides cutting down prices for FX-9000-series products, AMD is actually gonna reduce pricing involving with “mainstream” FX-series chips slightly on 1st of September. This move definitely could make them somewhat much more competitive, but will not likely improve their positions unfortunately.

Specifications and Prices of AMD FX Processors

Individually, AMD won't continue with older AMD FOREIGN EXCHANGE central processing models, including FX-6100, FX-4170, FX-4130 FX-8150, FX-8120, FX-6200,  along with FX-4100.

Last year, in an seek to respond to this launch of Intel’s code-named Haswell microprocessor, AMD launched two (extreme) FX-class main processing units code-named “Centurion” that happen to be compatible with superior AM3+ main-boards and require sophisticated super-cool systems. Although initially the FX-9370 along with the FX-9590 chips were only there for select system integrators at up to 800 to 900 bucks per product, by now AMD's prices got considerably lower.

 

Although in this year it was already expected that AMD would certainly introduce all-new AMD FX-9000-series “Centurion” microprocessors with additional clock-rates, it is obvious that AMD merely plans to reduce their prices to make them look greater against Intel’s Coree i5-4690K “Devil’s Canyon” & also some other microprocessors related to Intel Corp's.

The actual reasons for why AMD doesn't introduce higher-performance AMD FOREX chips is not clear, but that is obviously logical to assume that this company just isn't going to sell enough FX processors to be able to afford binning connected high-frequency parts.
