But if your content-creation activities are casual and not your living, you likely won’t miss it much.Īnd make no mistake: This is still a powerful CPU. The lack of Hyper-Threading could be a strike against this chip if you use heavily threaded programs that would otherwise have been able to make use of the four “virtual” processing threads that Hyper-Threading enables in other quad-core chips.
(Conversely, if processing time is money for you, the Core i7-4770K will pay for itself before very long.) Just know that Hyper-Threading is disabled on this Core i5 chip, while its power-consumption rating remains the same as costlier models in the Core line. The Core i5-4570 is a very good compromise chip for buyers who have the occasional, non-work-related need for a processing engine that can run with the big dogs, and who don’t care about overclocking. At the time of this review in early April, 2014, it was selling for $199. Core i5-4590 3.3 Ghz 4th Generation Processor offers a good middle ground in terms of performance and price.
