Intel Core i5-4590T vs AMD Athlon 3000G

Core i5-4590T vs Athlon 3000G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Athlon 3000G beats the Core i5-4590T in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590T in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-4590T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Athlon 3000G that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Athlon 3000G has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590T. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i5-4590T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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