Ryzen 5 3550H vs FX-9590 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3550H 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. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-9590 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. Also, the FX-9590 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 3550H CPU outputs less heat than a FX-9590 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the FX-9590 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Ryzen 5 3550H. The FX-9590 also has significantly more 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 Ryzen 5 3550H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
