Xeon E5-2640 vs FX-9590 comparison
In our benchmarks, the FX-9590 beats the Xeon E5-2640 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon E5-2640 in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the FX-9590 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the FX-9590. With our hardware info, we find that the FX-9590 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Xeon E5-2640. A Xeon E5-2640 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 Xeon E5-2640. Despite this, the Xeon E5-2640 has significantly more L3 cache compared to the FX-9590.
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 Xeon E5-2640 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
