FX-9590 vs Xeon E5-2637 v4 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the FX-9590 performs better than the Xeon E5-2637 v4. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2637 v4 in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count 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 E5-2637 v4. The Xeon E5-2637 v4 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.

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-9590 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
