FX-9370 vs FX-9590 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the FX-9590 beats the FX-9370 in overall performance. Despite this, the FX-9370 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-9590 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the FX-9370. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache and L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the FX-9370 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
