A $95 CPU that's multiplier unlocked sounds pretty good to me and it hit 4.6ghz when they overclocked it. Overall it's not bad and I'll bet the overclocked gaming benchmarks would have been half decent.
They said AMD is a good choice for gaming, that pretty much says it.
I used to use their "FX9590 gets beat by 2500K" as my gold standard in AMD discussions.
