About This Product
The Intel Core i5-4460 is a 4th generation Haswell desktop CPU with 4 cores and 4 threads, operating at a base clock of 3.2 GHz and a boost clock of 3.4 GHz. It is suitable for basic productivity tasks and light gaming at 720p or low settings at 1080p. Compared to modern budget CPUs, its performance is significantly lower, making it a poor value for new builds.
Verdict
βOnly consider for upgrading an existing LGA 1150 system for basic use, not for new builds.β
