Intel Core i7-7500U vs Intel Core i5-4590T

Core i7-7500U vs Core i5-4590T comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-4590T beats the Core i7-7500U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7500U in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i5-4590T has significantly more cores with 4 cores compared to the Core i7-7500U that has 2 cores. But they both have the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7500U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590T. Also, the Core i7-7500U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-7500U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4590T CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-7500U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
