Ryzen 5 1600 vs Core i5-4590S specs and performance
According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Ryzen 5 1600 is faster than the Core i5-4590S. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590S in all gaming tests too.
When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 1600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-4590S that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4590S. With our hardware info, we find that the Ryzen 5 1600 has a slightly higher clock speed than 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 1600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
