At least one retailer in the United Kingdom has dramatically slashed pricing of Advanced Micro Devices’ flagship microprocessor – the AMD FX-9590. Once available at the price-point comparable to Intel Corp.’s Extreme chips, the fastest central processing unit that AMD has to offer can now be obtained at around the cost of Intel Core i7-4770K, a performance mainstream CPU.
Aria PC, an online retailer from the UK, currently sells eight-core AMD FX-9590 microprocessor (4.70GHz clock-rate, 5.0GHz maximum Turbo Core speed, 16MB cache, 220W TDP) for ￡299 ($466.79), down from ￡699 ($1091). The same store currently sells quad-core Intel Core i7-4770K central processing unit (3.50GHz frequency, 3.90GHz maximum Turbo Speed clock-rate, 8MB cache, 84W TDP) for ￡263 ($410).
At press time, Aria PC was the only retailer to offer AMD FX-9590 processor at a discount price. Other online stores in the UK as well as e-tailers in the U.S. continued to sell the product for $900 - $1000. It is unclear whether the price-cut is an isolated campaign by Aria PC and AMD, or the price of the FX-9590 chip will be eventually decreased worldwide.
