Core i5-4590 vs Xeon X5570 benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4590 beats the Xeon X5570 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Xeon X5570 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i5-4590 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5570. Also, the Core i5-4590 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4590 CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5570 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 i5-4590 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
