I've been searching the web and its clear that the 4590s is weaker and has lower power cumsumption.

Than the 4590 is stronger with a higher power cunsumption

But which one would the consumer purchase for a gaming experience?

Can the 4590s hold its own with the 4590 on games ? Can you notice a difference ? Or is the 4590 and $50 more dollars a year on a electric bill( or w.e the difference is) simply not worth it.


I5 4690s and I5 4690 are opinions welcomed as well.

Both CPUs have the same Turbo clock, which makes them almost exactly the same performance-wise.

On the power side, the non-S may have a 20W higher TDP rating but this is only a worst-case. Under most real-world conditions, the difference between the two CPUs will be much smaller.

If you measured how much power the "84W" CPU actually used under full-load at stock clock/voltage, it would be in the 40-50W range.

If you're thinking about saving money then there are other options like the Core i5 4440 for example. Out of those two processors that you mentioned the 4590 is best and the power savings from going with the S version aren't worth it unless you have lots of computers and run a computer lab or something.

Here are two forums with opinions to the i5 4590 and i5 4590s

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/173575-what-is-the-difference-between-the-i5-4590-and-the-i5-4590s/

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2157109/4590-4590s.html

The toms hardware posts seem to lean more towards the s varient. Stressing the less power cunsumption for the same performance as the non s varient. That and how its great for tree huggers.

The tip website they say there the same version and to not insult eachother.
