FX-9590 vs Xeon E3-1535M v6 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Xeon E3-1535M v6 beats the FX-9590 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-9590 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-9590 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E3-1535M v6. Also, the FX-9590 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Xeon E3-1535M v6 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 Xeon E3-1535M v6. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the FX-9590 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
