PCBench Rating in 2025
Based on comprehensive benchmarks and real-world performance data analyzed by our custom AI algorithm.
AI Summary
The Intel Core i5-4590, released in 2014, delivers modest performance by 2025 standards, with a Passmark score of 5367 and weak multi-core performance (Cinebench Multi: 3133). It lacks modern efficiency and multi-threading, making it unsuitable for current gaming and content creation. Newer budget CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F offer far better value and performance.
Pros
- Low TDP at 84W for its generation
- Supports DDR3 memory efficiently
- Integrated Intel HD 4600 for basic display tasks
- Was a solid mid-range CPU in its time
Cons
- Severely outdated architecture for 2025
- Only 4 cores and 4 threads limit modern multitasking
- High base clock error (100 GHz listed, likely 3.3 GHz)
- No strong integrated GPU for modern use
