Intel Core i5-4590T vs AMD Phenom II X4 955

Core i5-4590T vs Phenom II X4 955 specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Phenom II X4 955 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.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. With our hardware info, we find that the Phenom II X4 955 has a significantly higher clock speed than the Core i5-4590T. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core i5-4590T has significantly more L2 cache than the Phenom II X4 955

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.
