Intel Core i5-4460 vs Apple A18 Pro

The Intel Core i5-4460 is a desktop processor designed for general computing tasks and office applications.

It is based on Intel's Haswell S architecture and manufactured using a 22-nanometer process. With four cores and four threads, as well as a memory bandwidth of 26 GB/s, it represents a stable basis for desktop systems. The Apple A18 Pro, on the other hand, is a processor based on the Donan architecture, designed for use in mobile devices.

Due to the 3-nanometer process and a memory bandwidth of 60 GB/s, it achieves high efficiency. While the Intel Core i5-4460 has an L3 cache of 6 MB, the Apple A18 Pro offers significantly larger caches with 20 MB L2 and 24 MB L3 cache. In systematic benchmarks such as Geekbench 6, the Apple A18 Pro clearly outperforms the Intel Core i5-4460 in both single-core and multi-core performance.

In gaming scenarios, the Apple A18 Pro offers strong graphical performance for mobile applications thanks to its 6 GPU cores. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 of the Intel Core i5-4460, on the other hand, is primarily designed for simple screen output. In terms of power consumption, the Apple A18 Pro is much more economical than the Intel Core i5-4460, which has a higher thermal design power, due to its architecture.

The price-performance ratio of the Intel Core i5-4460 is interesting for users looking for low-cost hardware for simple purposes. The Apple A18 Pro is suitable for users who require the highest mobile computing power.
