Core i5-4590S vs Xeon X5570 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Xeon X5570 is faster than the Core i5-4590S. Despite this, the Core i5-4590S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

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 i5-4590S has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Xeon X5570. Also, the Core i5-4590S has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4590S CPU outputs less heat than a Xeon X5570 CPU because of its 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 i5-4590S has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
