About the AMD FX-9590 CPU
The AMD FX-9590 is an end-of-life 8-core (8-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013. It is part of AMD's FX lineup, which is based on the Vishera microarchitecture. The FX-9590 is compatible with AMD Socket AM3+ motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The FX-9590 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the FX-9590 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 384 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 8 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 8 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The FX-9590 features 8 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 4.7 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.0 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The FX-9590 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
