Ryzen 3 1300X vs Core i5-4590S specs and performance

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 3 1300X performs better than the Core i5-4590S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590S in all gaming tests too.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 3 1300X has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590S. Furthermore, both these CPUs have identical turbo speeds. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

The more cores a CPU has, the better the overall performance will be in parallel workloads such as multitasking. Many CPUs have more threads than cores, this means that each physical core is split into multiple logical cores, making them more efficient. For instance, the Ryzen 3 1300X has the same number of threads as cores. This means the the CPU does not support hyperthreading.
