I was wondering what the differences are in general between Ryzen CPUs and the FX CPUs and especially the differences between the FX9590 and the Ryzen 5 1500X processors.
I've done some research between the processors:
http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AMD-FX-9590-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1500X/1812vs3921
But I was wondering why the Ryzen 5 CPUs have a better rating but have a substantially lower clock rate, when I usually used to buy processors I would buy them based on clock rate and somewhat on number of cores, so it seems kind of strange some of the Ryzen CPUs would be substantially better. Are there good reasons why or are they just considered better because there newer and take less wattage?
