Intel Core i5-7400 vs Intel Core i5-4590T

Core i5-7400 vs Core i5-4590T comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i5-7400 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 i5-7400 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590T. Also, the Core i5-7400 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4590T outputs less heat than Core i5-7400 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The data shows that both these CPUs have same sized L2 caches and 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 i5-7400 has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
