Ryzen 5 2400G vs Core i5-4590 comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 2400G performs better than the Core i5-4590. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-4590 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores but the Ryzen 5 2400G has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590. Also, the Ryzen 5 2400G has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2400G CPU outputs less heat than a Core i5-4590 CPU because of its slightly lower TDP. 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. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 2400G has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
