About the Intel Core i5-4460 CPU
The Intel Core i5-4460 is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2014 with a suggested retail price of $187. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Haswell microarchitecture. The i5-4460 is compatible with Intel Socket 1150 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 22 nm manufacturing process. It features the Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics solution.
Memory and Cache
The Core i5-4460 supports DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-4460 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 6 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Core i5-4460 features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.2 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.4 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Core i5-4460 includes an integrated graphics solution called Intel HD 4600. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.
Benchmark Performance & Value
The Core i5-4460 has the 365th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 17.57% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 6,499 score and $187 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 34.75. This is the 100th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.
About the AMD A10-6800K CPU
The AMD A10-6800K is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q2 2013 with a suggested retail price of $142.
