FX-9590 vs Core i3-N305 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-N305 is faster than the FX-9590. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-9590 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-N305 has significantly more cores than the FX-9590. Indeed, the Core i3-N305 has 8 cores compared to 4 cores found in the FX-9590. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the FX-9590 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-N305. Also, the FX-9590 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i3-N305 outputs less heat than FX-9590 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the FX-9590 has more L2 cache than the Core i3-N305. The FX-9590 also has slightly more L3 cache.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. Indeed, the FX-9590 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
