Intel Core i5-4590 vs Intel Core i5-6500TE

Core i5-4590 vs Core i5-6500TE benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4590 is faster than the Core i5-6500TE. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-6500TE in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4590 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-6500TE. Also, the Core i5-4590 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-6500TE outputs less heat than Core i5-4590 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-4590 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
