In addition, the company intends to slightly reduce prices of other FX-series chips and discontinue older and lower-end models.
Starting from September 1, 2014, AMD’s FX-9370 (eight cores, 4.40/4.70GHz, 8MB L2 cache, 8MB L3 cache, 220W thermal design power) will cost $199 when bought in mass quantities in trays, whereas the top-of-the-range FX-9590 (eight cores, 4.70/5.0GHz, 8MB L2 cache, 8MB L3 cache, 220W thermal design power) will be priced at $215 (tray version).
