Core i5-4590T vs Pentium Gold G5400 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Pentium Gold G5400 is faster than the Core i5-4590T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590T 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 Pentium Gold G5400. Indeed, the Core i5-4590T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G5400. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G5400 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4590T. A Core i5-4590T CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G5400 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-4590T has significantly more L2 cache than the Pentium Gold G5400. The Core i5-4590T also has significantly more L3 cache.

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.
