Intel Core i5-4590T vs Intel Core i7-920

Core i5-4590T vs Core i7-920 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-4590T performs better than the Core i7-920. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-920 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-920 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-920 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590T. Despite this, the Core i5-4590T has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-4590T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-920 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i7-920 has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i5-4590T

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