The AMD FX-9590 has 8 cores that run at a clock speed of 4.7GHz.
It has an L3 cache size of 8MB.
| Cores | 8 | More cores means more threads and therefore more processes can be run simultaneously | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | 4.7GHz | Clock frequency indicates processor speed, but is only reliable in comparisons between CPUs of the same family | |
| Release Date | 11 Jun 2013 | The more recent the release, the more likely the CPU will receive up-to-date manufacturer support | |
| TDP | 220W | The lower the TDP, the less power the CPU requires to run and thus the more efficient it is and the less heat it creates | |
| L3 Cache | 8MB | The L3 cache is the largest CPU cache, but still provides very quick access to data | |
| CPU Socket | Socket AM3+ | The motherboard socket and CPU socket should match to indicate the CPU is compatible with the motherboard and will fit into it | |
| Unlocked Multiplier | yes | An unlocked clock multiplier means you can adjust the multiplier for an overclocking speed boost |
The CPU is over 1 year old, meaning while it is probably beginning to look old compared to newer processors, manufacturer support should still be readily available.
