Core i5-4590 vs Ryzen 5 7520U comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 7520U performs better than the Core i5-4590. Despite this, the Core i5-4590 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Ryzen 5 7520U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4590 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Ryzen 5 7520U.

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 i5-4590 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
