Benchmarks


Description of the processor

The Intel Core i5-4590 is a processor with four physical cores, which was released by Intel in the third quarter of 2014. The processor has no hyperthreading and cannot be overclocked.

The four cores have a base clock frequency of 3.30 gigahertz. In turbo mode, the clock frequency increases to up to 3.70 gigahertz, with single core utilization and up to 3.50 gigahertz, with utilization of all four processor cores.

The integrated graphics unit with the name Intel HD Graphics 4600, from generation 7.5 from Intels GPU range, has a base clock frequency of 350 megahertz and a maximum dynamic clock frequency of 1.10 gigahertz. The GPU, manufactured using the 22 nanometer process, supports decoding of the following codecs in hardware: h.264, JPEG, VC-1 and AVC. In addition, the codecs h.264 and AVC can also be encoded in hardware.

The graphics unit has 20 execution units and 160 shader units and is able to supply up to 3 monitors in parallel with one image. For this, the selected mainboard, which must also have the LGA 1150 socket, must have sufficient video outputs.

The Intel Core i5-4590 supports DDR3 type RAM with a clock frequency of up to 1600 megahertz. Intel specifies the maximum size of the RAM used as 32 gigabytes.

In addition to AES-NI encryption, the Intel Core i5-4590 also supports the following virtualization technologies: VT-x, VT-x EPT, VT-d.

The VT-x, VT-x EPT, VT-d is manufactured using the 22 nanometer process and is based on Intels Haswell Refresh architecture. Incidentally, there is no major improvement on the predecessor from the Haswell series, the Intel Core i5-4570. The Intel Core i5-4590 only has a 100 megahertz higher clock rate, the rest of the data is completely identical.
