The FX95xx Series was simply FX8350s Cherry picked during testing, the ones that operated at higher freqs w/ lower mV were binned for the 9000 Series.

It was a Waste of Marketing Money to develope the material to market it.

That was on the head of the Old AMD CEO, who continued to try and hold up a the Flawed CMT Designed w/ Marketing tricks.

I dont see the point in the FX8370 or FX8300 either, as they are simply lower or higher binned 8350/20s depending on their stable mV Draw

Should Just done: 8300, 6300, 4300. if a User wanted to OC then that's their gamble. and their problem to find a chip that would OC Better.


Back in the Sub 1GHz Days, 100MHz etc is 1/10th to 1/5th of the performance, you can have 200MHz and 266MHz Versions of the same chip, and it's be worth the money, same with 500 and 750, etc.

But now, 3.3 GHz (8300) to 3.5 (8320) w/ Similar Turbo Limits, Similar TDP.

$20-50 for 200 Mhz more base clock, waste of money to create a separate sku and marketing media for something that close to another one of your own products.

Same for 4.0 GHz (8350) at $149 to 4.0GHz (8370) for $190, you're paying for 100MHz Extra Turbo (from 4.2 to 4.3)

While a FX9590 4.7GHz is the same price as the 8370 now ($190)

Waste of Marketing Budget.



As an Avid AMD Fan, See all that Irked my Nerves,

And I'm pretty sure that was what led to AMD Cleaning House at the Upper management Level.
