The AMD FX-9590 was a desktop processor with 8 cores, launched in June 2013. It is part of the FX lineup, using the Vishera architecture with Socket AM3+. FX-9590 has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 4.7 GHz by default, but can boost up to 5 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is making the FX-9590 on a 32 nm production node using 1,200 million transistors. The silicon die of the chip is not fabricated at AMD, but at the foundry of GlobalFoundries. You may freely adjust the unlocked multiplier on FX-9590, which simplifies overclocking greatly, as you can easily dial in any overclocking frequency.
With a TDP of 220 W, the FX-9590 is extremely power hungry, which means you need top-notch cooling. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 1866 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the computer, FX-9590 uses a PCI-Express N/A connection. Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability.
Hardware virtualization is available on the FX-9590, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.

This processor comes with an unlocked multiplier, allowing users to set the multiplier value higher than the shipped value, to facilitate better overclocking.

Announced as an OEM exclusive SKU on June 11, 2013. Some retail vendors began offering sales of individual tray CPUs shortly after announcement for $920. Official retail units launched to market on October 7, 2013, with pricing adjusted to $350 for a tray CPU and $390 for a boxed CPU which included the Cooler Master Seidon 120XL CLC.
