Ryzen 5 2600 vs Core i5-4590 benchmarks
Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Ryzen 5 2600 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 core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Ryzen 5 2600 has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i5-4590 that has 4 cores. It also has more threads than the Core i5-4590. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 2600 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-4590. Also, the Ryzen 5 2600 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Ryzen 5 2600 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.
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 2600 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
