Intel Core i5-4570TE vs Intel Pentium Gold G6505 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep for the Intel Pentium Gold G6505 across every shared benchmark. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the G6505 scores 374 against 270 for the Core i5-4570TE, a 38.5% advantage. The same 38.5% margin appears in Cinebench R20 multi-core, with scores of 1560 versus 1126. This consistency suggests the performance gap is structural rather than workload-specific.

Single-threaded results tell a similar story. Cinebench R20 single-core sees the G6505 post 220 points versus 158 for the i5-4570TE, a 39.2% lead. Cinebench R23 single-core shows 524 against 378, a 38.6% margin. The multi-core deltas in R23 repeat at 38.6%, with 3715 versus 2681. In every recorded test, the G6505 wins by roughly 38% to 39%, a remarkably uniform gap across both single and multi-threaded workloads.

The average benchmark scores confirm the broader picture. The G6505 carries an average score of 1074, landing at the 30th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The i5-4570TE averages 1062, at the 29th percentile. While the head-to-head margin is large, both processors sit close together in the overall distribution, meaning neither is a standout in absolute terms. The G6505's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-2310 at 1073 (0.1% ahead), the Intel Core i3-4170T at 1072 (0.2% behind), and the AMD Athlon X4 880K at 1071 (0.2% behind). The i5-4570TE's nearest rivals are the Intel Xeon W3580 at 1064 (0.2% ahead), the Intel Core i5-2380P at 1063 (0.1% ahead), and the AMD Opteron 4376 HE at 1061 (0.1% behind). These comparisons show that while the G6505 beats the i5-4570TE decisively in direct testing, both chips occupy a similar performance tier relative to the wider CPU landscape.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different eras and platforms. The Pentium Gold G6505 is built on Comet Lake-R, a 14 nm process, and uses the Intel Socket 1200 platform. The Core i5-4570TE is a Haswell part on a 22 nm process, using the older Intel Socket 1150. The process node difference is substantial: 14 nm versus 22 nm, which contributes to the G6505's higher clock rates and efficiency.

Both chips have 2 cores and 4 threads, so the multithreading configuration is identical. Cache hierarchies also match in structure: 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3. The G6505 has no listed transistor count or die size, while the i5-4570TE lists 1,400 million transistors on a 177 mm² die.

Clock speeds differ sharply. The G6505 runs a base clock of 4.20 GHz with no boost clock listed. The i5-4570TE has a 2.70 GHz base clock and a 3.30 GHz boost clock. Even at its maximum boost, the i5-4570TE trails the G6505's base clock by a wide margin, which explains the consistent single-thread performance gap.

Memory support diverges by generation. The G6505 uses DDR4 with dual-channel access and a listed memory bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s. The i5-4570TE uses DDR3, also dual-channel, but no bandwidth figure is recorded. Neither chip supports ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: the G6505 offers PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the i5-4570TE lists PCIe Gen 3 without a lane count.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The G6505 carries UHD Graphics 630, while the i5-4570TE has Intel HD 4600. Both are integrated solutions, but the newer UHD 630 benefits from the Comet Lake generation's improvements.

Thermal design power paints a clear picture. The G6505 is rated at 58W, while the i5-4570TE is rated at 35W. The newer chip uses more power to achieve its higher performance, while the older part prioritizes lower consumption. Power efficiency is not directly measured in the database, but the TDP figures indicate the i5-4570TE is the lower-power option, which may matter in constrained chassis or small form factor builds.

Release timing also separates the two. The G6505 launched in March 2021, while the i5-4570TE launched in June 2013. The G6505 is listed as Active in production, while the i5-4570TE has no production status recorded. The G6505 has a launch MSRP of $75. The i5-4570TE has no MSRP listed.

Where Each One Wins

The Pentium Gold G6505 wins every benchmark in the head-to-head comparison. It is faster in both single-core and multi-core Cinebench tests, with margins between 38.5% and 39.2%. For workloads that rely on raw CPU throughput, such as rendering, compiling, or general desktop responsiveness, the G6505 is the clear choice. Its 4.20 GHz base clock gives it a persistent advantage in lightly threaded tasks, where the i5-4570TE's lower clock speeds are a liability.

The i5-4570TE does not win any recorded benchmark, but it retains relevance in specific scenarios. Its 35W TDP makes it the better fit for low-power or thermally constrained systems. Builders with an existing Socket 1150 motherboard may also find it a convenient drop-in upgrade, though the database does not measure platform costs. The i5-4570TE also supports DDR3 memory, which could be an advantage in systems where DDR4 is not an option due to motherboard limitations.

For gaming, the database does not include gaming-specific tests. However, the single-core scores suggest the G6505 would deliver smoother frame pacing in CPU-bound titles, given its 38.6% to 39.2% lead in single-threaded Cinebench workloads. The i5-4570TE's lower power draw could appeal in HTPC or always-on server builds, where heat and noise are more important than peak performance.

The Verdict

The data points to one conclusion: the Pentium Gold G6505 is the stronger processor in every measured dimension. It wins all five head-to-head benchmarks with margins around 38% to 39%, and it does so across both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. For anyone building a new system or upgrading from an older platform, the G6505 delivers significantly higher performance for a modest 58W TDP.

The i5-4570TE's case rests on its 35W power draw and DDR3 support. It is the better choice in scenarios where power consumption is the top priority, such as a low-power server or a passively cooled build. It also fits existing Socket 1150 motherboards, which may be relevant for someone reusing an older platform. But in pure performance terms, the G6505 leaves no room for debate. Its base clock of 4.20 GHz exceeds the i5-4570TE's boost clock of 3.30 GHz, and its 14 nm Comet Lake architecture is a full generation ahead of the 22 nm Haswell design.

The average benchmark scores show both chips are near the 30th percentile of all CPUs, so neither is a high-end part. The G6505 is simply the better option within that tier. Both have 2 cores and 4 threads, so there is no core-count advantage to weigh. The decision comes down to platform compatibility and power limits. If you can use Socket 1200 and tolerate 58W, the G6505 is the obvious pick. If you need 35W or must stay on Socket 1150 with DDR3, the i5-4570TE remains serviceable, but it gives up roughly 38% performance in every recorded benchmark.
