Ryzen 7 5800H vs FX-9590 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800H beats the FX-9590 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the FX-9590 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 7 5800H has significantly more cores with 8 cores compared to the FX-9590 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the FX-9590. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the FX-9590 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 7 5800H. A Ryzen 7 5800H 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. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the FX-9590 has significantly more L2 cache than the Ryzen 7 5800H. Despite this, the Ryzen 7 5800H has significantly more L3 cache compared to the FX-9590.

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 7 5800H has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
