FX-9590 vs Core i5-9300H comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-9590 performs better than the Core i5-9300H. Despite this, the Core i5-9300H has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-9590 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-9300H. Also, the FX-9590 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-9300H 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 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.
