FRONTPAGE AMD Unveils 5.0 GHz FX Processor

somewhere between 4.6-4.9 big watercooling is needed for these cpus.
only the noobs will bite on the 9xxx cpus and if they read around a little they will just get an 8350.
any of our 8350's that we see in here will do the same and some even better.
hells bells we have been benching at 5.3 and 5.4 on all 8 cores.

Not sure it is a high leakage chip really. How's the vcore compare to the average FX chip that can clock that high? That's probably the easiest way to tell.
If it's higher than the average, odds are it's a low leakage chip. If it's lower, odds are it's a high leakage.
