In addition to its next-generation APUs unveiled last week, AMD has announced the FX-9590 — the world's first 5GHz processor made available to consumers. While experienced overclockers have been able to drive other chips to 5GHz, this is the first part to come stock at that frequency. It features an 8-core "Piledriver" architecture and ships unlocked, so PC users can push the clock even farther. The company also announced the FX-9370, which features the same 8-core architecture, but comes at a slightly lower clock of 4.7GHz.
Pricing and release information have not been disclosed.
