Intel Core i5-4590T vs AMD Athlon Gold 3150U

Core i5-4590T vs Athlon Gold 3150U specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4590T performs better than the Athlon Gold 3150U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Athlon Gold 3150U in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-4590T has significantly more cores than the Athlon Gold 3150U. Indeed, the Core i5-4590T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Athlon Gold 3150U. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Athlon Gold 3150U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590T. Also, the Athlon Gold 3150U has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Athlon Gold 3150U outputs less heat than Core i5-4590T thanks to a significantly lower TDP. 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.
