Summary of the review

Core i5 and i7 Haswell - Review Database (Including i5-4570S)

The Intel Haswell Core i5 and i7 processors, specifically models like the i7-4770K and i5-4670K, deliver a moderate 7-13% performance increase over Ivy Bridge with enhanced efficiency and improved HD Graphics 4600, according to TechPowerUp reviews. Key pros include the integrated voltage regulator for stable overclocking and strong multi-threaded performance, while cons involve high heat density, rapid thermal spikes under load, and the requirement for a new LGA1150 motherboard. The i5-4670K is identified as the superior gaming value, whereas the i7-4770K is recommended for professional, heavily threaded tasks due to its Hyper-Threading capabilities.

Intel Core i5-4570S @ 2.90GHz - CPU Benchmarks and Performance Testing

The Intel Core i5-4570S is a 4th Generation "Haswell" desktop processor featuring four cores with a 2.9 GHz base clock and 3.6 GHz turbo boost, designed for the LGA 1150 socket with integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600. Boasting a 65W TDP, this "S" variant is an efficient option for small form factor (SFF) systems, offering solid performance for general computing, office tasks, and light gaming with a PassMark CPU Mark of around 5,013. However, the chip is restricted by its locked multiplier, older 22nm architecture, and lack of support for modern DDR4/DDR5 memory, making it less efficient than current alternatives. Pros include low power consumption and reliable quad-core performance, while cons involve limited overclocking, dated technology, and potential bottlenecks for modern gaming.

Intel Haswell Low Power CPU Review: Core i3-4130T, i5-4570S and i7-4790S Tested(www.cpu-world.com) | June 02 2013 | Intel Core i5-4570S CPU Specificat...

AnandTech's review of Intel's low-power Haswell CPUs (i3-4130T, i5-4570S, i7-4790S) highlights their suitability for thermally constrained, compact, or quiet systems due to reduced 35W-65W TDPs. While offering excellent out-of-the-box efficiency for HTPCs or servers, these chips, particularly the i3-4130T, exhibit lower performance compared to standard desktop counterparts. The analysis shows that in, thermally limited scenarios, the lower-tier chips can sometimes allow the integrated graphics to maintain higher speeds, providing a performance pro, though a major con is the lack of overclocking potential and, for some models, limited retail availability. Ultimately, for most users, standard Haswell parts offer better overall value, rendering these chips as niche options focused solely on minimizing heat and noise.

Summary of the review

Intel Core i5-4570S Benchmarks - Geekbench Browser

The Intel Core i5-4570S is a 22nm Haswell-based, 4-core/4-thread desktop processor from 2013, operating at a 2.90 GHz base and 3.60 GHz boost frequency. Designed for efficiency, it boasts a 65W TDP—lower than the standard 84W i5-4570—making it ideal for small form factor (SFF) or quiet systems. It supports Intel HD Graphics 4600 and remains viable for basic productivity when paired with modern storage. Pros include superior energy efficiency and lower heat generation compared to the non-S model, along with a low price point on the used market. The 65W TDP allows for smaller, quieter cooling solutions. Performance is adequate for general computing, provided it is paired with an SSD. Cons include a roughly 10% lower base clock speed compared to the standard i5-4570, limiting raw performance. It lacks Hyper-Threading and an unlocked multiplier for overclocking, resulting in sub-par performance for intensive, modern multi-threaded tasks. Furthermore, its integrated graphics, while capable of basic tasks, underperform compared to competitor offerings of the same era. For the full benchmark details, visit Geekbench Browser.

Intel Core i5-4570S - CPU UserBenchmarks

The Intel Core i5-4570S is a quad-core "Haswell" desktop processor, operating at a base 2.9 GHz and boosting to 3.6 GHz, designed as a 65W low-power variant of the standard i5-4570. While its architecture is aged, it remains a viable, efficient choice for budget-conscious home office PCs, media systems, and small form factor (SFF) builds. The CPU features Intel HD 4600 graphics and supports AVX2, providing decent daily performance with reduced heat output. Key disadvantages include the lack of hyper-threading (limited to 4 threads), which causes 100% usage in modern multitasking, and a locked multiplier that prevents traditional overclocking. Crucially, this 4th-gen processor is not officially supported by Windows 11, restricting users to older operating systems. The CPU serves as a capable, low-power option for non-demanding, legacy, or secondary computing needs. For full technical specifications, visit TechPowerUp. Copy

Summary of the review

Exclusive: Intel Haswell Core i7-4770K Review (Includes i5-4570S Benchmarks)

The Intel Core i7-4770K (Haswell) introduces the LGA 1150 socket, a fully integrated voltage regulator, and a 5–10% IPC increase over Ivy Bridge, with stronger gains in AVX2-optimized tasks. While providing a notable 20–30% boost to integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600, it still falls short of high-end gaming needs, though it remains a strong choice for enthusiasts seeking 4.6GHz+ overclocks, despite higher operating temperatures. The processor serves as a solid workstation performer but necessitates a new motherboard and offers marginal, non-essential performance gains for users already on Sandy or Ivy Bridge platforms.

Summary of the review

Intel Core i5-4570S Benchmarks - Geekbench Browser

The Intel Core i5-4570S is a 4th-generation "Haswell" quad-core processor designed for energy efficiency, featuring a 2.9 GHz base clock, 3.6 GHz boost, and a 65W TDP. It operates on a 22nm process with 6 MB L3 cache, optimized for lower power consumption and cooler operation compared to standard 84W models. Key advantages include its suitability for compact systems, support for AVX2 instructions, and integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 for multi-monitor setups. However, the processor has a locked multiplier, preventing overclocking. It lacks Hyper-Threading, which can lead to high usage in modern games or intensive tasks. Furthermore, it relies on the outdated LGA 1150 socket and DDR3 memory, restricting upgrade paths. This processor is well-suited for light office work or home media servers, but it is limited by its age and lack of advanced features. For more information, visit TechPowerUp CPU Database.

What we like about Intel Core i5 4570S

Energy efficient with a low 65W TDP, making it ideal for silent or low-power builds
Strong value for money, especially when purchased used for budget gaming or general use
Solid quad-core performance that remains capable for daily browsing and light media tasks
Lower heat output compared to standard variants, allowing for smaller form factor cases or passive cooling
Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 can handle basic gaming at low settings and 4K video playback

What we don't like about Intel Core i5 4570S

Outdated technology (4th Gen Haswell) that struggles with modern, highly demanding AAA games
Locked multiplier prevents any significant overclocking
Lacks Hyper-Threading, which limits performance in heavily multi-threaded professional applications
Will bottleneck high-end modern graphics cards, generally recommended only for entry-level GPUs like the GTX 1050 Ti
Relies on older DDR3 memory, which is slower than current DDR4 or DDR5 standards

Verdict

The Intel Core i5-4570S is a quad-core desktop processor based on the Haswell architecture, featuring a 2.9 GHz base clock and a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency with 6 MB of Intel Smart Cache. Built on a 22nm process for the LGA 1150 socket, this 'S' variant is specifically optimized for power efficiency with a 65W TDP, making it a strong choice for small form factor or mini-ITX builds while still providing integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600 and support for up to 32 GB of DDR3-1600 memory. Its main pros include lower power consumption compared to the standard i5-4570, reliable performance for office tasks, and integrated graphics that support three displays. However, its main cons are its locked multiplier which prevents overclocking, a lower base clock speed than its non-S counterpart, and its status as an older 4th Gen component that lacks hyper-threading and modern gaming capabilities.
