You should pin this comment so it doesn't get lost with the others :)
Just out of curiosity, what GPU did you use to carry out the 1080p testing?
That's defined in the article.
Nice video !!! can u test ryzen 1400 vs fx 8370 ?
Thanks.
...why not just buy a G4620 for availability, clocks and better IGP to test?
I come for the reviews.
I stay for the hair.
Shahnewaz is jelly as fuck.
+MakoRuu speak english! we don't understand douchebag speak.
le triggered xDDDDD
Can I comb it pleeeease? 😅
About time you guys jumped on this, Steve's been doing too much mountain bike riding :D
The graphics in this "outside" place aren't all they're cracked up to be.
I agree, they advertise HD graphics but I'm pretty sure it's upscaled.
There's no such thing as too much mountain bike riding
When you try to beat AMD in low end systems and accidentally kill your entire i3 line
i really like the new background (in front of the window)
pls continue using it!
Microcenter has them for $56.
g3950 is 5 euros more expensive at 70 euros here where i live lol
very true
KV3NU B3RG3N micro center
KV3NU B3RG3N if you got their website microcenter.com it will ask you what state you want the address will show once you pick Florida
Man, the store near my house, just ran out.... Newegg has them for 80 bucks now.
Great video Steve. Thanks for taking the time to create such a comprehensive comparison between so many architectures and price points.
The G4560 is a great little chip and a solid choice for someone on a budget, offering similar performance to the i5 2500k at $70 is nothing to sneeze at. Also worth noting, the G4560 is a Kaby Lake CPU and therefore supports intel's Optane tech if paired with a 200 series board. Going the optane route could allow SSD like performance in the budget (gaming) segment. Also worth noting that for less demanding ESports titles and older games, the integrated graphics should offer playable performance at reduced settings/resolutions. In many cases, modern iGPUs outperform the likes of a Radeon HD 2600 both in raw FPS and feature support. Even my ultra budget HTPC based on a Celeron N3150 manages playable FPS (30+) in games like Tomb Raider (2013) on the lowest settings @720p. For games like Mass Effect 1/2 and older I would imagine the G4560's iGPU would be passable.
Keep up the great work GN!
great video as always but one thing missing.... dude where's the cat lol
After all the deserved recognition for Pentium G4560.
Picked up a G4600 when it was, due to demand I assume, evenly or higher priced even than the G4560. Paired with a 1050ti, I finally got back into computer gaming after fifteen years. Very happy. Thanks for the comparisons.
the 1700 cannabilizing the 1700x and 1800x is worse for amd though.
Yeah, already talked about that in our R7 1700 review. ruclips.net/video/PcbdN7vdCuQ/видео.html
1700 isn't really cannibalizing the X models. 1700 is the volume mover product, this is what most of the wafers get cut into because they know that's what people want to buy. The X models are just a small cut from the top of the bin with a premium price tag to try and squeeze a few more dollars out of each wafer. In the case of G4560 vs i3 right now, Intel is undercutting themselves by half on an entire product tier. It's a more odd situation.
many people dont overclock
Hayate Azekura You're living under a rock.
It's easy, and ryzen isn't going to O.C much, because it is already clocked almost to the max
I think it's about time intel makes the i3 a budget quad core instead. The i3 is getting a bit pricey for a dual core, especially since the new pentium can easily match it.
It took some time but thanks for the review anyways. I love the attention to detail on Gamers Nexus :)
It's interesting that it manages to beat the good old hexacore Phenoms both in average FPS and frametimes, didn't expect that.
We've had a lot going on and it wasn't in stock!
"it wasn't in stock."
Yeah, based on the reviews I can see why ;)
My daughter got the G4620 on a B250M for her rig when we built it a couple of weeks ago. She inherited my old GTX 970, and combined with the Pentium, it's a decent rig for her games and usage.
i love the thing where your processor are. talking about that rack/shelves like thing lol
The best thing that came from kaby lake IMO i remember seeing this had hyperthreading and instantly purchased i think i managed to find it at 60 bucks. I was impressed with the performance. I still have it and still try and see how far it can be pushed.
*Gamers Nexus* My main gaming rig has a Core i7-5820k @ stock. But my 2nd rig has a Pentium G4560 / 8 GB DDR 4 / EVGA GTX 1060 6 GB SC Gaming (single fan). It's a really good build.
Is there any news if the z27 boards will support coffee lake cpu's, or will that be a new board entirely? I'm highly considering getting a G4560 as a placeholder and upgrading to coffee lake when it's available, but would hate to buy into z27 and be out of luck.
can i ask,in all these benchmarks you have the 4690k running stock only,how come you didnt or have yet to add the 4690k overclocked,i guess i could just add 10fps and see where it lands on the charts
great little cpu for budget gamers. we bundle these with a b250 board and 1050ti gigabyte. and they sell so well. the gameplay in gta v, the witcher 3 etc is excellent. they seem to outperform the fx6300 to.
sebastian wilkins what the CPU COOLER size?
i3s are obsolete now
my setup
g4560 60$
h110 mobo 30$
8gb ram 30$
rx480 180$
Where'd you get 8gb of ram for $30?! Or did you get the ram a few years ago?
NZAnimeManga used 4*2 when ram price was normal
Samiul Islam G4560 probably bottlenecks the RX 480
Ain'tMyself ya a bit but got a great deal so can't complain though 470 would've been perfect match
Samiul Islam Yes 470 is the most I would go with the g4560. For ultra budget gamers 1050 Ti is a good option given that it's down to like $120 and a great price to performace now.
Now what if you threw that chip on one of those non K overclocking boards? those boards seem slightly hard to find, but with that then this is now a i3 7350K competitor at under half the price.
Also, great review as always.
I wish you guys would include which gpu you used in your game benchmarks. It's important to have context.
Avery Willard most likely 1080 or 1080ti
I have this one, it is still performing very well for me. Only downside is that I like to build PCs but I don't have a reason to upgrade yet. Also seeing how power hungry the 12th gen of Intel's CPUs are, I'm not looking forward to near future.
The only troubles I had with G4560 are speed of AVI to MKV conversion and 8K youtube playback, none of which I do regurarly.
I'm building my dad an office/home/browsing PC, should I go with the G4560 or the G4620?
Will be paired with 8GB DDR4 RAM and SSD.
is the SC2 shroud skeleton made from metal or plastic?
what a comprehensive and pleasing list to observe
just a question : are higher settings important for an cpu? What i mean is : if i have 90% useage on my cpu when the game is one the lowest settings, is there going to be a higher usage when i am playing on ultra?
Totally dependant on what settings you use. Some drag the CPu some don't.
Most of the time higher settings will give you lower FPS, in some games this will reduce the CPU load.
i knwo this, but i mean the situation when i would lock the fps at something like 60 or 144 and would change the settings ( and not running into a grafic card bottleneck), would settings like MSAA or texture deatails increase the cpu usage?
Mr Objection your CPU does not render frames, your GPU renders frames. The CPU gives the frame to the GPU, and the GPU renders the frame, then gives it to the monitor.
Great Test!
what is the os g4560 do you use?
Between this and the RX470, building a budget gaming PC has never been stronger. You could make a console killer for 350$ this way. It's an insane CPU :o
I agree. And the beautiful thing with this CPU is that you're not locked down for upgrades either. Just slap an i7 in there a few years later and it will rock on!
yeah. in 2018-19-20, get an i7 7700(K) and i am sure because of Ryzen, they will go for less than $150, maybe as low as $100.
Yeaup definitely :D An 7700k at 5.0ghz will be incredible for at least 5 years. That thing's a monster in games.
I built a Ultra setting console killer that'll almost never overheat.

Just got the pentium G4560. Good Chip. Highly recommended, but get a B250M motherboard, as a basic H110M board may need a bios update.
What the size of the CPU COOLER?
Hi,
What is the main reason for Intel to "fix_clock" G4560 processor?
ty in advance
So what's the suggested GPU pair w/ this CPU? RX 470 / 570 or GTX 1050ti?
is the geometry option mostly cpu bound???
I love this channel more than the grass on my lawn
was gonna go the G4560 for my cousins build but found a 7100 for $88 bucks at frys figured 20 bucks was worth the extra performance
About time!!
Would you consider my Rig as high end? or mid range?
Ryzen 5 1600 @4GHZ with a Corsair H55 AIO
16GB G.Skill Ripjaw 4 DDR4-2400
Asus GTX 980 Ti 20th Anniversary Edtion
Asus X370 Prime
ImmenseFox high!
i got g4560 for 51$ and it worth every single penny
cyka blyte my friend
Which would be a better long term purchase - the G4560 or i3 7100?
do you think the i7 7700k is still a good choice or am i better off going with ryzen 5? I feel like the 7700k can even stream games with no issues
What the hell is an i3?
www.bmw.de/i3
TheSinisterEyes1. A shaodw of its former self
Traditionally it's been
Pentium - Dual Core,
i3 - Hyperthreaded Dual Core,
i5 - Quad Core (some with unlocked multiplier),
i7 - Hyperthreaded Quad Core (some with unlocked multiplier).
But now this Pentium is the same thing as an i3 without Turboboost.
I3's don't have turboboost either, so the current i3 lineup doesn't make any sense at all
@Andreas Breslawski
XD good one. But to be completely serious, I gotta say, I really doubt some of Intel's decisions lately, or rather, the past year or two. Though I lean more to the AMD side, both are good products. Just seems to me though, that Intel REALLY needs to step up their game. Perhaps they are, but it could still be a while to release.
Is the RX 570 the best price/value paired with this G4560?
could you compare this to the i3 2120?
12:00 When Steve said "later upgrade to a diferent CPU if you chose to do that", I understood buy the 7700k in 2023.
is the Pentium G4560 compatible with MSI H110M Pro-VH Plus Motherboard without the need to update BIOS with another CPU?
Yup. I have one. Work out of the box. No bios update required
I just ordered one of these to build a budget gaming machine...I did go a little silly and bought it with a Z270 board and 16GB of DDR4 3000 for future upgradability though. Hope Coffeelake fits....
fanboys gonna fanboy
Not sure how that's fanboying unless I'm a fanboy of economics. Got all of it for $130 CAD less than I could have gotten the cheapest 16GB Ryzen build; including getting that Z270 board for only $10 more than the cheapest B350 board.
Good deals are good deals, we all know Ryzen is a good deal, but we also all know that Intel will adjust strategy to deal with it. As mentioned in the video this is the cheapest gaming setup you can buy and leaves the upgrade path open to the best gaming setup you can buy (currently 7700K, with rumors of it being the 8700K, or whatever name top coffeelake gets, eventually). Ryzen is neither of those. It's the best all-rounder you can buy and also has an awesome upgrade path; I know I have an R5 1600; It's great but a reasonable starter build for it is $250-$300 more than the G4560.
can i play watch dpgs 2 in intel pentium g4560??
I bought the G4560 on ebay early Feb for $59 and paired it with a GTX 1060 3gb.
Please do a g3258 revisited.
Thanks!
Potentially trivial given the audience, but don't forget that Optane only works on i3's and above. Of course, pricing is everything (compared to SSDs), but worth mentioning given the recent bundling with selected MSI Motherboards, for example.
I bought this before Ryzen has launched. I got my money for an R7 but my motherboard give it up. Still didn't bought an R7 because I can play any game on ultra with an R480 card. Not a fan of Intel but this little beast is just perfect. Love it.
be awesome if the R3 series matches this things price to performance :D
Is that a botw menu sound I hear for "Links in the description"
Where can I find the blender project that you use for benchmarking?
It is internal only and was created for GN's benchmarking.
Thanks for the response. I thought it might be interesting to try out since you guys have tested so many things with it.
I think Intel needs to rethink their product stack. G4560 is a great $70 product, but how do they think there's still room in the market for dual cores in the i3 price range? Obviously they know there isn't because the G4560 is literally exactly what they've been selling and continue to sell as the i3 for twice the price, but I don't think they did themselves any favors by not just aggressively price cutting the i3. The G4560 could have just been name the i3 7050 and it would be instantly recognized as what it is supposed to be. Someone who doesn't follow the product stack might pass over something Pentium branded since they've used this branding as their granny's web browser shit chips for the last 10 years. The 7350K should be 7100's current price, and the 7100 should only be like $5-$10 more than the G4560.
Well, they probably just hope that people buy the i3's out of habit and ignore the Pentium. Most people still don't know that the new Pentium has 4 threads.
For Intel the Pentiums are just i3's that couldn't handle the higher clock speeds so they're making a ton of money on people buying the i3's.
There is a leak of a 6 core i5 without hyperthreading... Super dumb IMO.
If I was intel, for desktops this would be my lineup: Celeron: Single core with hyperthreading. 3.5ghz $35 and 4.0ghz $40 variants (the 4ghz being unlocked secretly), Pentium: Dual core with hyperthreading. 3.5ghz $60 and 4.0ghz $75(again the 4.00 being unlocked) and a Low power 3.0ish ghz with a good IGPU (iris plus graphics X50) $65.
i3 now have 3 cores and hyperthreading. Standard variants: 3.5ghz $90, 4.0ghz $109, 4.0 K variant $109 (All processor have improved stock cooling, same fin stack, better fan. K variants cost the same as non K, but don't include cooler) and a Low power 3.0ish ghz with a good IGPU (iris plus graphics X50) for $95.
i5 4 core with hyperthreading. Same branding as i3
i7 6 core and above.
id also add an i9 for 10+ cores. I think it would turn heads towards intel, and fool many people into it beeing better than you average i7.
+Ignafiltro Sanchez I'm sure you "would do" a lot of things but the thing is that Intel isn't selling i5's without hyperthreading and i7's with only 4C/8T because they want to. They do that because it's much harder to manufacture chips with functioning cores/threads.
i5's are basically failed i7's and i3's are failed i5's.
If Intel could just make loads of 6C/12T CPU's without a problem they would do it in a heartbeat.
+Saitham...true. A few people know the way of production.
I know for fact that CPUs are the same when being manufactured, and that what is being sold depends on yeilds and cpus passing a test or not. However to my understanding yields do not affect hyperthreading, in other words its impossible for a CPU to be able to run without hyprethreading if that part is "damaged".
Thought the Cache makes sence.
I own one and it is a great CPU. I will say that you can experience some very serious hitching in CPU heavy games. ex GTA V and GR Wildlands. Most games run beautifully.
Lucas Amaro Lol mine arrived today and all I can say is......ITS A FUCKING BEAUTIFUL ITEM. Now all we need to do is get intel to allow oc on all pentiums.
Lucas Amaro It can be done Lucas..Just believe. All we need is an army and Intel's address lmao.
Lucas Amaro on a serious note, I Think intel should have a 1month time space in which any CPU can be multiplied. After that month it should go back to normal. It's like what Microsoft did to windows 10 and the whole free ota update.
Which GPU are you guys using? Sorry I missed the part.
It's in the article.
You tested it with a 1080...wouldn't that bottleneck the CPU?
That's the entire point of a CPU benchmark.
Gamers Nexus Then why not test the CPU without any GPU with games at low settings or something? I am new to the PC world, so I am just wondering.
Ain'tMyself Stop asking stupid shit when you are new then?
The G4560 has a lesser-known brother/sister with HD 630 instead of HD 610: the G4600. Slightly higher clocked and much better iGPU. Runs extremely cool, even with the stock cooler.
😍 INTEL & Gamers Nexus, FTW! 😍🕹
Got one today £48 new with cooler. Add used 780 and 1080p is perfectly respectable for games if you turn off shadow detail and other hogs
I got a Pentium 4620 for $59, So happy with it
ouch my 2500k @ 4.5 looks so old and outdated on those charts.
but dual cores are definitively worse than these charts will be able to show you.
the stutters are constant, and usability even on windows decreases considerably. might as well forget multitasking.
I was going for an i3 build but then when I started looking at reviews the G4560 kept popping up as the best bang for buck cpu and that is why I ended up with one. It's made the i3 seem rather pointless given the jump in price vs performance gains. They might as well called the G4560 an i3. What is it in the architecture that differs enough to not be an i3 cpu?
I think it's literally the first time Europe doesn't get the short end of the stick regarding
cpu prices.
Here in Spain you can either get a Pentium g4560 for 55 euros (61$)
or i3 7100 for 117 (131$), making an already pointless purchase (as in 40$ difference
like in the US) a literal waste of money (70$ difference)
I'm really curious about how Ryzen 3 prices will translate to European prices, as in the
first week we got Ryzen 5 at prices not competitive with Intel offerings (315$ for Ryzen 1600x, now down to 7600k Price tier at 280$)
What about the G4620?
Is there a significant bottleneck with the 4560 over something like a 4.0GHz R5 1400, when using an RX 570?
Its a completely different price range, you cant compare the two.
The R5 will have much better lows, and will have higher averages as well since it's 4core/8threads, but the 100-130$ difference is not enough to justify if you're building with a lower budget. So, either save up for the r5 1400/1600 or buy now. I would suggest save up for R5 1600.
So there's not that much of a difference (with the 570) to justify the extra cost for tight budget builders???
Not really, but I would suggest saving for a 4 core at least the 2 core really won't stand the test of time.
Okay, thanks m8
How can I measure power draw of my PC?
use a ruler
Putting a build together for a friend. In a 600$ budget, do you think the stretch for an r5 1400/1600 is worth it with a gpu like a 460/1050, or would the money be better spent on one of these 4560s with an rx 470/570? There's always the question of upgrade path, though I don't really know what their income is gonna be like.
I would go for the pentium and 570. In gaming, the CPU difference would be negligable with budget GPUs, so always go for whatever gets the best GPU for gaming, as long as the CPU is still good.
TroidHunter best option wait 1 more month for the Ryzen r3 they may have a killer balance between performance and budget like for as low as 100$ and it will be atleast quad core so u can expect more life from it...
then upgrade path is very important to consider, if u go with a 1400 u won't have to upgrade the CPU in 4 years, it should hold up pretty well, in the mean time, whether u go with 570 or 1050 ti u are gonna have to upgrade in 2-3 years unless u are looking for minimum frames, Moreover the 4560 is gonna hit the minimums in 2-3 years as well so u will be forced to change the mobo(since Intel will discontinue the socket soon) +CPU + GPU all at once...
it would be great if u show us Ur planned specs in a pcpartpicker list below so we can recommend the changes needed...
another reason to go for RYZEN is that their sockets will be supported until 2020 so u can get a better processor if money allows and get some extra years without changing the mobo...
so please share the parts if u can and we'll recommend the best choice...
my advice is wait for r3, if it's immediate go for a 1400/570 or 580... Squeeze the extra 20-30 $ for an 8 thread system, it will be worth it...
TroidHunter here u go...
my suggestion:-
pcpartpicker.com/list/LRBFhq
609$ and if u can squeeze a little more, get a better mobo... assuming u have a monitor
BreathlessTuna 89 Stop talking shit,r5>i3>pentium.
saladwithsalad dude it's not a question of performance, it's a question of value...
that's what this video is about of course the r5 and i3 are faster that doesn't make them better value, especially for a budget build
seeing i5 2500K just one place above G4560 on blender makes me wonder how much have my PC fall behind...
I do uses 3D rendering (not blender) sometime... sighhhhh.....
xone5447 it's at stock.
🙂 Hi GN, now that R3 is out, can you please revisit the $57 G4560 and see if its also an R3 Killer? Can u plz test G4560 vs 1200 vs 1300X, and for GPUs can u plz test the 1050 2Gb, 1050ti 4Gb, 1060 3Gb, 1060 6Gb, Thank You GN! 😍🕹
It's a shame that the Pentium G4560 can't be over-clocked..
Barack Smith Then it would basically be an i3 7350K... a 180 dollar CPU.
Shouldn't You be running back to your ship, Captain Obvious?..
That ship sank my dude
Barack Smith yes u can by downgrading ur bios
Why dont you compare power draw to the Intel cpus? At least to the i3. Not to be mean or anything, I love the coverage other than that
Power draw was just added for Ryzen, as noted in the chart. We haven't run it for Intel yet. It's a new chart.
Okay, thanks for the information! Keep up the good work!
good stuff
From what i had previously gathered, the G4560 is basically on par with even an i3-4170. Where would you place the i3-4170 versus the G4560 yourself?
Probably identical in performance. Maybe the g4560 edging out the i3 4170 a tiny bit because it has access to ddr4 2400mhz. Not enough to make a substantial difference.
Good to hear. thanks
Thoughts on replacing an AMD FX -8320 with this Pentium g4560?
Andrew Oberhauser not worth it, kaby lake is about to go out and there is no upgrade part...
better to wait for the Ryzen r3 and buy a good mobo...
u get true quad core and .uch better upgrade path
That's a pretty dumb question...
If you want worse performance all around then sure, go for it.
Does it support Optane? Because if not i'd rather stick to the i5-2400
Tuchulu no onlu i3 and up support optane
What does the HT1 stand for?
Josh Sisson It means Hyperthreading is turned on .
Thanks!
As soon as this pentium was announced, my resale of my skylake i3 went way down. Couldn't even get $70 for it.
Wait till Ryzen 3 renders the entire i3 lineup and below useless.
I doubt that the Ryzen 3's will go as low as $60 though.
It would be cool if AMD made 2C/4T Ryzen 3's for around that price
Yea but you can get 4 actual cores for the price of 2 cores and only 4 threads. Which will be useful in the future, and even now, because some things are failing to load unless threads are sensed. I doubt it would take too long before that becomes 4 threads needed
They will likely all be over 100$ though, only reason picking them up over a pentium 4560 (60$) would be to overclock them, which would require more money spent on a cooler and the motherboard anyway soo...
Does anyone besides your grandma still use iGPU's? And AMD is coming out with a new line of APU's, which will be zen based with either polaris based or vega based iGPU's
Totally agree.
G4560
Ryzen 1600
i7 7700k
Only gaming CPU's worth buying at this point in time.
The Ryzen 1400 might be worthwhile as well 8 threads at a price point a fair bit lower than the 1600. 1500x is so close in price to the 1600 it's not worth it really.
in my opinion, the Ryzen 5 1400 is an $140-ish i7 4770K from 2013 in performance overall (if you know what i mean)
the g4560 is still value king
the 1600 is a beast that can both do insane productivity work as well as gaming, it even has a decent cooler. It's a steal for its' price point in my opinion. the only worthwhile cpu in the ryzen lineup if you don't need r7 for work
Theo's Thoughts the next best budget CPU has to be the r5 1400, you can oc it up to 4.0 ghz and I'm planning to pair it with the rx 580
Why not put the athlon 880k on the list? Since it is in the same price range
Wake me up when Intel releases a 4c/4t i3 that cannibalizes the i5
wake up bro
Low supply? You didn't check Amazon :P But for real though, every time I saw them, they were always at $59. Granted I already had one so that was just through the occasional passing glance.
We checked Amazon several times.
It's a pity you didn't include competing AMD processors (in the same price category), like the x845, which goes for 58 USD, and the fx6300, which sells for 68. By the way, I wonder how the AM4 Athlon(s) will perform (I think one is already available, at least to OEMs, the 960 or something).
Łukasz Liniewicz Those AMD are slower than the G4560, there is a video of an i3 6100 vs the FX 6300 where the i3 6100 beats any AMD processor that it's not a FX 8xxx or higher. The i3 6100 is similar as a G4560 with 2400 MHz of RAM.
Considering the G4560 outperforms the FX-8370, it seems unlikely that the FX-6300 would be on par with the G4560 in our tests. We have tested the 845 and 880K in the past, but did not include them here as we're no longer recommending AM3/AM3+. We might add them in the future, but they did not make the (time) cut for now.
Gamers Nexus I agree. Not even Ryzen 3 will have the overall value of a G4560. This processor simply does not have any competition for gaming.
Enjoy your stutters with the g4560 or any goddamn dual core.The FPS doesn't tell the whole story. My brother has one and the stutters are killing him,50-70fps but choppy as shit.And that's with an rx 480.
saladwithsalad We know, we know, we know...
Steve move PCMR hair so we can see the T bro
it would of been great if it was tested against the R4
The G3258 didn't even make it six months before games started arriving that wouldn't work on it at all without sketchy third party injectors and hacks. Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition both arrived a few months after it launched and refused to even boot on CPUs with only two threads. I doubt we'll be seeing games that NEED more than four threads to run any time soon, but people got majorly carried away with the G3258 at the time just because it was unlocked. Its best use was for running emulators.
Well, the beautiful thing about both this CPU and the G3258 is that it's easy to just upgrade the CPU on the same socket.
You forgot to mention why INTEL made this cpu , it's made to catch people on a intel platform , so if they want more performance they will have to chose betwen mobo+cpu swap or just a cpu swap , and the casual customer will go to a PC shoop who will tell them it's cheaper to just change cpu , it's a smart move by intel :)
Already have it though
At China you can get a G4560 with no stock fan and warranty just $44.
51W/65W TDP Skylake and Kabylake CPUs are perfectly fine on the stock cooler = more money towards your GPU.
Intel should make gaming cpus without a igpu
dont supose you culd benchmark games like mass effect andromida and some other newer more CPU based games or that at least require th eCPU to do a fair bit of texture streaming or somthing of the like as those pentiums and i3 will stutter and fall in quite a few games where somthing like a FX/i5 would be required
The pentium g4560 made the entire i3 lineup obsolete and for about $50 dollars less. If any ryzen 3 with 4cores or 2c/4t is in the range of $60- $80...then the i3 will just be useless imo. However, seeing the price range and differences of enthusiast and mainstream ryzen i doubt any ryzen 3 will be less than $100. I just hope amd does us a favor and significantly reduce the prices of ryzen 3 to $60 - $90 range.
I mean, the r5 1400 is like a locked i7 chip, but costs half as much. The R3 will be, probably, like a locked i5 chip. I don't believe it's going to be under 100$ either, but, if you want more consistent performance and much better lows than the Pentium, the R3 will be a good choice. 4 cores is still better to have than 2.
Intel i7 and i5 are significantly overpriced. The i3 is useless. I won't say the r3 are like i5 chips but they y will be definitely better than i3. But i agree the ryzen 5 are better than i5 .
I really needed that video some days ago when someone was the opinion a 7100 is a much more better buy than a G4560... 'cause the i3 has more cores and significantly higher clock speed and over 50% better performance...
If it was overclockable it would put the cherry on top. Still an outstanding buy though.
For some crazy reason i expected a random delidding of the pentium... lmfao idk gamers nexus you spoil me too much
