AMD FX-9590 vs Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2

FX-9590 vs Xeon E3-1230 V2 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-9590 performs better than the Xeon E3-1230 V2. Despite this, the Xeon E3-1230 V2 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 Xeon E3-1230 V2. In terms of cache, the FX-9590 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Xeon E3-1230 V2. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
