Intel Pentium G4560 3.5 GHz Socket 1151

to
The Pentium G4560 really is the best budget processor we've seen in some time and if I'm completely honest, it's the only Kaby Lake processor worth buying. The Core i3-7300 costs well over twice the price but comes clocked less than 15% greater. Realistically, your choices are the G4560 at $64 or the Core i5-7400 at $190, everything else in-between is a bit pointless.

There's never been a better time to buy a processor for under $125. AMD's latest processors have shaken up the low-cost landscape, so now you can find quad-core models with gaming-capable integrated graphics for a mere $100. Intel's response has brought...

In gaming, the closest equivalent seems to be the stock i5-2500K, which we just revisited. For a more modern comparison, something like the i3-6300 (comparable to the i3-7100 and, although it has more cache, i3-7300) perform not too distantly from the...

When the Kaby Lake CPUs were announced, everyone become curious about the new Pentium processors with Hyper-Threading technology enabled. As we expected, our tests proved that, in all the tasks where the four threads are used, the Pentium G4560...

Budget gaming builds always strive to optimize for performance per dollar. The Pentium G4560 stacks that equation in your favor like no processor before it. A slightly lower clock rate compared to the G4620 saves quite a bit of money, yet it's still...

If you're after a budget processor from Intel that can perform daily tasks with occasional gaming… then there's no question, the Intel Pentium G4560 is your answer. It's a dual core Kaby Lake with 4 threads at $65.00… what more do you want?! 1 2 3...

However, as good as it is for its ridiculously low cost, it's also important to recognise its limitations in real world gaming: many of us prefer the PC experience because it allows us to break free of the 30fps limits found in console titles - and 1080p60 gaming remains a highly desirable experience. Results here with the Pentium G4560 are variable and as good as it is as a budget processor, we still recommend a fast i5 for 60fps gaming on demanding modern titles.

Here at Digital Foundry, we love to test the latest and greatest gaming technology and with Skylake/Kaby Lake, Intel is the (current) undisputed king of CPU technology. The i7 6700K and 7700K are capable of phenomenal performance while the i5...

The Intel Pentium G4560 dual-core processors feature Hyper-Threading Technology with its four threads. It is the first of its kind in the Pentium processor family. It has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and has the 1150 MHz Intel HD Graphics 610. It can also handle mainstream graphics cards like the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.

Overall, the Pentium G4560 is definitely a killer chip for budget PC builders. It has great performance across the board and a price which should enable some really decent builds under $300-$500 US.

La série Kaby Lake, c'est-à-dire les Core 7000, est une bonne série dans l'absolu: elle propose des prestations convaincantes à tous les niveaux. Il ne faut cependant pas se leurrer: il s'agit ni plus ni moins de puces Skylake (sorties 18 mois...
