Intel Core i7-8565U vs Intel Core i5-4590

Core i7-8565U vs Core i5-4590 comparison

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core i5-4590 is faster than the Core i7-8565U. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8565U in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i7-8565U has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i5-4590 has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8565U. Despite this, the Core i7-8565U has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-8565U CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4590 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. Indeed, the Core i7-8565U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
