Core i3-7350K vs Core i5-4590T specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i3-7350K is faster than the Core i5-4590T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590T in all gaming tests too.

With info from our database, we find that the Core i5-4590T has significantly more cores with 4 cores whereas the Core i3-7350K has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i3-7350K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590T. The Core i5-4590T outputs less heat than Core i3-7350K thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-4590T has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i3-7350K. The Core i5-4590T also has significantly more L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i3-7350K has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
