It would seem that hardware enthusiasts are a fickle bunch. This was the immediate reaction to AMD's FX-9590 announcement.

220w...jesus. My 125w Thuban is enough of a space heater already. I am trying to Cool my computer room down, not heat it up more.

Hope they include a LN2 tank with that
It's only fair that AMD get the shit. There CPU's are crap, and they are doing exactly what Intel were doing back in the Pentium 4 days, GHz over actual performance. Which AMD gave Intel serious amounts of shit for, if I recall correctly.
Seriously, who buys AMD CPU's these days, unless your building a low/middle performance games consoles?
Can you use Facebook and hardware enthusiasts in the same sentence ... aren't those things mutually exclusive
Besides, AMD is doing more market crossover ... with the success of their video/cpu combos they thought the CPU/space heater combo was the next market to grab onto
Maybe they will offer an enthusiast option where you can get the processor and your own substation to power it
Time to move to Alaska and have that 225W processor properly cooled by sub-arctic temperatures
Except electricity in a good chunk of Alaska is expensive as hell.

what i don't get is this happened (or similar to) with the P4 back in the day....amd concentrated on making a more efficient processor - the athlon 64 and later the X2. it was a great time for them, that is what got them into system integrators like dell!
and now they want to do the exact opposite? they want to follow the same path as the P4 that intel lost on? wtf are they thinking?
simple answer.
All that staff that built those great processors in the mid 2000's no longer work at AMD.
I want one so I can water cool it.
And then use that heated water to shower?
Use the heated water to power a sterling engine, to generate electricity, to feed back into the computer.

Believe it, most people here in CR i read about on FB groups all buy AMD with the whole "AMD is cheaper and you get 6/8 cores" crap and i keep telling them they spend more money on power and coolers over intel and they are all gamers for the most part. (LAN Makers CR one group)
But some people just wont listen!
