Been building my own computer boxes for years

 I have been building my own computer boxes since my first Timex Sinclair computer. I have eagerly followed each and every new thing in building computers. I would never have imagined that a CPU like this would ever exist, much less be obtainable by us mere mortal box builders. Not only does it exist but very soon we will be able to own one!

"It looks like the rumors were true; AMD is going to be selling an FX-9590 processor this month that will hit frequencies as high as 5 GHz. Though originally thought to be an 8-module/16-core part, it turns out that the new CPU will have the same 4-module/8-core design that is found on the current lineup of FX-series processors including the FX-8350. But, with an increase of the maximum Turbo Core speed from 4.2 GHz to 5.0 GHz, the new parts will draw quite a bit more power. You can expect the the FX-9590 to need 220 watts or so to run at those speeds and a pretty hefty cooling solution as well. Performance should closely match the recently released Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell processor so AMD users that can handle the 2.5x increase in power consumption can finally claim performance parity."
