Bulldozer/piledriver CPUs like the FX series and their corresponding G34/C32 opterons don't have PSP - they are the last and best owner controlled x86_64 CPU's and for now can still play the latest games at max settings (even supports playing in a VM via IOMMU :D) The 8350 and 93xx CPU's are pretty much the same the niners are just better binned to support the uber OC's You can have a 100% blob free owner controlled libre firmware workstation/server with the KGPE-D16/KCMA-D8 which is the best option for those who need to run x86 and thus can't get a talos or some other power workstation.
