Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Processor 4 Core for Socket 1150 in Box

The Intel Core i5 4590 processor is based on the Haswell microarchitecture (2014). It has 4 cores with 4 Threads. More cores provide increased power for programs that take advantage of a larger number of cores. Threads allow the processor to execute multiple applications simultaneously, performing tasks faster. Its maximum frequency is 3.3 Ghz.

Description

The Intel Core i5 4590 processor is based on the Haswell microarchitecture (2014). It has 4 cores with 4 Threads. More cores provide increased power for programs that take advantage of a larger number of cores. Threads allow the processor to execute multiple applications simultaneously, performing tasks faster. Its maximum frequency is 3.3 Ghz.

The Cache memory it incorporates is 6 MB. Cache memory is a very important feature as the larger it is, the less time the processor requires to retrieve data from the computer's main memory, significantly increasing performance.

It has the 1150 Socket and will need to be hosted on a motherboard with a corresponding Socket. Finally, a cooler is not included. You will need to purchase a separate cooler for the processor, which is necessary.

The Core i5 4590 is a powerful processor, making it ideal for gaming and work conditions that require multiple applications and open browsing windows simultaneously.

Threads

Threads are virtual versions of processor cores. They allow the processor to serve multiple tasks in parallel.
Processor Frequency (Base Frequency)
3.3 GHz

Processor Frequency (Base Frequency)

The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.
Max Processor Frequency
3.3 GHz

Max Processor Frequency

The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)
Cache memory
6 MB

Cache memory

Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.
Unlocked
No

Unlocked

Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).
Thermal Design Power (TDP)

Thermal Design Power (TDP)

The TDP shows how much heat the processor generates during typical use.

The cooler used should be capable of handling this amount of heat.

    Even after four years, it remains a powerful processor. The only thing is that its TDP is at 84 watts and not at 65 as mistakenly stated in the information.

    I have 2 monitors, which I operate both simultaneously for tasks that require a lot of RAM memory and a powerful processor/graphics card.
    First of all, I want to emphasize that it doesn't experience any bottleneck no matter how much I push it, and it doesn't exceed temperatures above 56 degrees Celsius (while using a 17 euro air cooler).
    It doesn't struggle to run even 15 heavy programs at the same time. Whatever I have assigned to it, it has handled it flawlessly without needing to go through the overclocking process that some other processors require.

    For anyone who doesn't have overclocking in mind, it's the best in terms of performance/price. I have owned it for about 10 months and the conclusions so far are only positive. I have it on an Asrock Z97 Pro 4 motherboard. Of course, when I bought it, it was 189€ and the motherboard was 99€, and now everything is +20-30€, but it's still a great purchase!
    In terms of temperatures, it's very good even with the stock cooler, although I recently installed an Alpenfohn Himalaya II and now it doesn't go above 55 degrees at 85% load.

    Flawless. Very powerful. And above all, it's worth every penny and more. It doesn't take overclocking. In my opinion, overclocking is generally useless as it can only cause problems and instability in the system, not to mention shortening the lifespan of the processor by half or even more. A very good and honest purchase.
