Intel Core i5-4590T vs Intel Pentium Gold G6405

Core i5-4590T vs Pentium Gold G6405 specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Pentium Gold G6405 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.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i5-4590T has significantly more cores than the Pentium Gold G6405. Indeed, the Core i5-4590T has 4 cores compared to 2 cores found in the Pentium Gold G6405. But they both have the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Pentium Gold G6405 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4590T. A Core i5-4590T CPU outputs less heat than a Pentium Gold G6405 CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. For instance, the Core i5-4590T has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
