Ryzen 5 1400 vs Core i5-4590S specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 1400 beats the Core i5-4590S in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i5-4590S has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count but the Ryzen 5 1400 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 1400 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590S. Despite this, the Core i5-4590S has a slightly higher turbo speed. 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.

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 Ryzen 5 1400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
