Intel Core i7-7700 vs Intel Core i5-4590T

Core i7-7700 vs Core i5-4590T specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i7-7700 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.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-7700 has more threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7700 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590T. Also, the Core i7-7700 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-4590T outputs less heat than Core i7-7700 thanks to a significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. When comparing cache sizes, these CPUs have an identical amount of L2 cache. The Core i7-7700 also has slightly more L3 cache.

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. Indeed, the Core i7-7700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
