FX-9000-series CPUs widely available, massively discounted in the UK

AMD's FX-9000-series processors were supposed to be limited to pre-built machines. The 220W monsters are basically factory overclocked Vishera CPUs. They have special cooling and motherboard requirements, so there's a certain wisdom to selling them only in complete systems. We had a feeling that stand-alone chips would make their way into the retail channel, though, and that's exactly what's happened. The FX-9370 and FX-9590 are both selling at numerous outlets, including Newegg, Amazon, NCIX, and Provantage. Google's shopping search engine lists 20 vendors for the FX-9590 alone, and most of those e-tailers have the chip in stock.
