FX-9590 Details

The AMD FX-9590, launched in June 2013, is a high-end desktop processor from AMD's FX series, built on the Vishera microarchitecture. Despite its age, the FX-9590 remains notable for its high clock speeds and unlocked multiplier, which made it a popular choice among enthusiasts for overclocking. The processor is manufactured on a 22 nm process by GlobalFoundries and features 8 cores with 8 threads, though the provided data incorrectly lists it as having 2 cores. It operates at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and can reach a turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, with a maximum L3 cache of 7.629 MiB. The chip is packaged in a µPGA format and uses the FCLGA1150 socket, supporting dual-channel DDR3 memory up to 1866 MT/s with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. It has a TDP of 54 W, making it relatively power-efficient for a processor of its era.

The FX-9590 includes integrated graphics powered by Intel's HD Graphics 4600, capable of supporting up to three displays with a maximum GPU frequency of 1150 MHz and a base frequency of 350 MHz. It supports a wide range of instruction sets, including AVX, AVX2, FMA3, AES, and SSE variants, enhancing performance in multimedia and encryption tasks. The processor also supports ECC memory, which is useful in server and workstation environments where data integrity is critical. Virtualization technologies like AMD-V and Intel's VT-x are supported, allowing efficient operation of virtual machines.

In terms of benchmark performance, the FX-9590 achieves an Overall Score of 5505, ranking #474 out of 2060 processors, a Singlecore Score of 5996 (#272), and a Multicore Score of 4769 (#887). While its single-core performance is strong, placing it among the top performers of its time, its multicore performance lags behind modern processors. Compared to contemporary CPUs like the Core i3-8100T and Core i3-9100, the FX-9590 holds its own in single-threaded tasks but falls behind in multi-threaded workloads. The processor competes with models such as the FX-8320 and Core i7-4710HQ, which are slightly slower in both single and multicore performance.

As of March 2026, the FX-9590 is considered an older device, no longer relevant for modern high-performance computing or gaming. However, it remains a viable option for legacy systems or enthusiasts who prioritize overclocking potential and single-core performance. Its integrated graphics and support for ECC memory make it suitable for specific niche applications, but its 22 nm process and lack of modern features limit its broader appeal. For users requiring current performance, newer processors from AMD and Intel offer significantly better efficiency, scalability, and feature sets.
