i5 4440 vs i5 4590?

[soniccaner1]

Tbh i can get both but what is the difference between the 2? Same lga socket right?-Gaming purpose

4440 is 3.1GHz 4590 is 3.3GHz therefore faster! Same socket.

 

[Luminary]

Yes, same socket.

The 4590 will perform slightly better in terms of FPS in games, as it is clocked at 3.3 GHz. The 4440 is clocked at 3.1 GHz, so it runs a bit slower. If you can get them at a similar price get the 4590.

gna go with the i5 6500 instead but does that mean i will need ddr4 memory -also is it worth it i mean for me its only gna be £10 extra max

 

[rolli59]

Depending on motherboard some lga 1151 boards support DDR3L (low voltage) but if going Skylake I say go DDR4.

Yes, you will probably need new RAM if moving to a Skylake build.

Unless your current DDR3 ram is designated with an 'L' at the end (for low voltage) you'll need to upgrade your RAM as well when moving to the i5-6500.

@ rolli59, deja vu 😉

i mean i have a i5-2320 so i think its about time XDDD.

 

[Luminary]

Yep, that will be a significant upgrade. 😉

 

[soniccaner1]

Yep, that will be a significant upgrade. 😉

I am probably going to go with the i5 4590 just due to the fact that ddr4 memory is way out of my budget. -cpu and mobo fine just + ram as well too much. Is it worth to go with the i5 4590 or save up for skylake. I mean after those 2 purchases i doubt i am ever going to buy/upgrade my pc again

Coming from a SB I5 I would say Skylake now or wait! I just upgraded one rig from I5 2400 to I7 6700K and on the CPU site and really does not have a WOW factor with the same GPU in gaming but is used for other stuff as well and there the I7 matters.
