In terms of real world, programming, multimedia and gaming performance, which of these CPUs are better?
-Intel i5-4460
-Intel i5-4590

They have a $16 difference here in my country and I dont know which to pick. .

Please and Thank You!

Well the 4590 is better since it is clocked higher and they are otherwise the same chip. You will not notice the difference between the two though so I would probably just get the 4460. Is there are 4570 there? You could check it's price. I would get it if it's priced close to the 4460.

The i5-4590 has a 100 MHz faster base clock and a 300 MHz faster Max turbo so it will perform slightly better.

The difference between the two is so small that it would hardly be noticeable during regular workloads. Of course, $16 amortized over the life of the computer is also barely perceptible.

If you've got the extra $16 to spend, get the 4590. If not, the 4460 will work fine.
