Core i5-4590T vs N97 benchmarks

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the N97 performs better than the Core i5-4590T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4590T has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the N97. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the N97 has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-4590T. However, both these chips have the same amount of 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.
