Core i5-4590 vs Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U performs better than the Core i5-4590. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U has more threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Core i5-4590 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. The Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U 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.

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