Although I didn't spend much time playing Batman: Arkham Origins, I remember the game rather well after testing it on no less than 30 graphics cards and 20 CPUs. Arkham Origins appeared to take full advantage of Unreal Engine 3, it ran smoothly on...

AMD has long controlled the value portion of the sub-$200 processor market. Though the FX series is the latest iteration, the Phenom and Phenom-II processors before it also held down an excellent price to performance ratio, demonstrating the viability...

With its high clock speed and eight cores, the FX-9590 is undoubtedly the fastest AMD-based consumer processor you can buy—and its price is now much more palatable. But unless you've already got robust liquid cooling to keep it properly chilled, you'll...

The configuration we received contains the top CPU and graphics card from AMD, helped by 16GB of Patriot DDR3-2133 memory and a Kingston 120GB SSD. This is a very powerful gaming system which will face any 3D challenge.AMD FX-9590 is the first CPU to...

After taking a fresh look at the AMD FX-9590 processor it is clear that AMD needs Ryzen to be successful. The AMD FX-9590 8-core processor was somewhat competitive with the Intel Core i7-2700K processor, but keep in mind that is an older processor from...

AMD is refreshing their FX lineup in the waning days of Summer!Let me explain the situation from my point of view. The FX lineup for AM3+ has not done a whole lot since the initial release of the Piledriver based FX-8350 and family (Vishera). Piledriver...

With the retail release of the CPU, that warranty might be based on using the water cooling provided for the lifetime of the CPU. One might argue that AMD had trouble finding enough dies that could reach the frequencies and voltages for the FX-9590, and...
