Core i5-3550 vs Core i5-4690 specs and performance
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-3550 performs better than the Core i5-4690. Despite this, the Core i5-4690 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.
Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-3550. Also, the Core i5-4690 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-3550 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4690 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.
The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Core i5-3550 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
