Core i5-4460 Details

The Intel Core i5-4460 is a quad-core processor designed for mainstream desktop users who need reliable performance without the overhead of high-end hardware. Released in 2013 as part of Intel's fourth-generation Core lineup, it remains relevant for light productivity, media consumption, and entry-level gaming—especially in systems where integrated graphics suffice. Though outdated by modern standards, its 22 nm process and FCLGA1150 socket make it a cost-effective option for upgrading older systems or building budget-friendly builds.

Built on Intel's Haswell microarchitecture, the Core i5-4460 operates at a base frequency of 3.2 GHz with a turbo boost up to 3.4 GHz, delivering balanced single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. It features four cores and four threads, with a TDP of 84 W, making it relatively power-efficient for its era. The processor supports up to 32 GB of DDR3-1333/1600 memory across two channels, achieving a maximum memory bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. It also includes support for PCIe 3.0, enabling fast expansion with compatible devices.

Integrated into the chip is the HD Graphics 4600 GPU, which runs at 350 MHz base frequency and can boost to 1.1 GHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and is capable of handling 1080p gaming at low to medium settings, as well as basic video playback and light content creation. While not suited for modern AAA gaming or professional graphics workloads, it offers sufficient performance for casual users and office applications.

The Core i5-4460 supports a range of Intel technologies, including AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel vPro, making it suitable for business environments that require security and manageability features. It also includes Hyper-Threading, though it is not enabled in this model, and supports advanced power management through EIST and TXT.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-4460 achieves an overall score of 4986, ranking #884 among 2060 CPUs. Its single-core score of 5177 places it at #826, indicating strong performance in legacy and single-threaded applications. The multicore score of 4699 ranks it #962, showing that while it can handle multi-threaded tasks, it lags behind modern processors in heavily parallelized workloads. It outperforms several contemporary mobile and embedded CPUs, such as the Ryzen 5 3500U and Core i5-6287U, but falls behind even mid-tier desktop chips like the Core i7-6700T.

As of March 2026, the Core i5-4460 holds its own in legacy systems and budget builds, particularly where cost and compatibility are priorities. While it cannot compete with today’s top-tier processors—such as the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9995WX or Core Ultra 9 285K—it remains a viable choice for users who do not require cutting-edge performance. Its longevity is a testament to Intel’s engineering at the time, and it continues to serve well in non-demanding desktop environments.
