Intel BX80677G4560 7th Gen Pentium Desktop Processors

Pros: You can find it for as cheap as $60 Has Hyper threading which mean it will act and be 85% powerful and like a quad core CPU. Has a high clock speed of 3.5Ghz Cons: Missing some instruction sets that the i3, i5, i7 series chips have (Avx 2.0, etc are missing which really doesn't affect gaming much 200 Mhz slower then the i3 6100 but that will only result in 2-3 fps difference from an i3. Not compatible with the affordable h110 motherboards unless you have a skylake chip and updated the bios with it. (You need skylake cpu to update the BIOS and then you can use this chip with it) (B250 Motherboards are the cheapest option is you dont already have a skylake cpu and motherboard.) Other Thoughts: This Processor has the Best Price to Performance ever seen which 80.92. This Processor would be best paired with the following Graphics cards - gtx 1050 ti, rx 470, gtx 1060 6gb, rx 480 8gb. This cpu and the above gpu's paired with this cpu can pretty much run any game at 30 or 60 fps at high or ultra settings. I just recieved the processor today, I set it up, paired it up with a rx 470, launched battlefield 1. With all settings turned up to ultra and v-sync on i got solid 60 fps and it was just amazing. I switched out this pentium with a skylake pentium (Dual core with no Hyper threading) and even when the settings were cranked down to low, i only got 25 fps and it dropped very frequently. So we can clearly see that the Hyper Threading in this Processor helps alot and boost the performance by a lot. If you want to play at 4k, then you are best to go with gtx 1060 6gb but note that you will only be able to play in medium settings. If you try to pair this CPU with anything higher than a gtx 1060 6gb, you will experience serious and huge bottlenecks and major frame drops. It surprising that a $60 CPU can handle 4k at medium settings with a powerul graphics card without and frame drops! Additional Notes to take before purchasing!!

Main reasons to consider this processor - 1) Has HyperThreading which means that one core will act like two and since this a dual core, the CPU will act like a quad core but don't expect quad core CPU benefits though. This CPU will be like 50-75% better than dual core CPUs that don't have the Hyperthreading Technology that the G4560 does. 2) Equivalent to the i3 6100 which cost almost double the money! (Exact equivalent performance to i3 6100 when paired with 2400mhz ddr4 which makes up for the 0.2 GHz less frequency on the pentium g4560. 3) If you have Netflix and want to watch in 4k this is the perfect upgrade because Netflix will only support their upcoming 4k content on 7th gen kaby lake chips which the Pentium is part of. 4) The price!!!!! Another person in the review said that this processor would be well paired with a GTX 1060 or a RX 480. I 80% agree with him. It's because this CPU will bottleneck both GPU's in games like battlefield 1 and etc. There can be up to 20% bottlenecking when this CPU is paired with a GTX 1060 or RX 480. Although, if you are planning on upgrading your CPU later to an i5 or even an i7, then go with the GTX 1060. (i3 6100 will bottleneck the GTX 1060 by about 10-15 percent.) The GPU that would be the best fitted with this card would be an Rx 470 because this CPU has the exact core performance required for no bottleneck in RX 470 GPU. THERE WILL BE 0 BOTTLENECK WITH THIS CPU AND RX 470 COMBO. IT IS THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. TYE RX 470 IS ABOUT 20% BETTER THAN THE GTX 1050 TI. On the other hand if your a die hard Nvidia fan and would like to get the best bang for your buck, go with the GTX 1050 TI which will also have no bottlenecks when paired with this CPU. I can guarantee you that you can play pretty much any game at 60 fps on "high" (not ultra) settings. Some games you can play at 60 fps even on ultra when paired with GTX 1060 6gb and 8gb ram and this CPU! Battlefield, battlefront, ghost recon wildlands beta, GTA v, cod infinite warfare, black ops 3, Skyrim, etc. With the GTX 1050 to you can play them at high with 30fps. Note - the CPU can also handle a GPU a little bit more powerful than the GTX 1050 ti. Additional notes - NOTE - BUY FROM ANTONLINE, THEY HAVE CHEAP PRICE AND EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, YOU CAN FIND THEM IN MORE BUYING OPTIONS BELOW THE ADD TO CART BUTTON. THE INTEL RECOMMENDED PRICE FOR THIS CPU IS $64 SO DONT BUY IT IF IT IS EVEN A CENT OVER IT. I GOT IT FOR $63. AT THE TIME OF THIS REVIEW, ANTONLINE ON AMAZON HAS IT FOR $61 AND ANTONLINE ON EBAY HAS IT FOR $60 SO DONT BUY FROM ANYONE ELSE AS THEY JUST OVERPICE TYE CPU. IF ITS OUT IF STOCK, THEN JUST WAIT UNTIL ANTONLINE GET IT BACK. DONT PAY FOR AN OVERPRICED ITEM.

Really great little processor. I bought it to upgrade an HP Slimline 270 that came with the Celeron G3930 processor and I'd read this Pentium offers significantly better performance for not a lot of cost. Installation was SUPER easy. I used to build my own rigs a long time ago, and was pleasantly surprised to find the newer processors have contacts on the underside (not pins) and just lay flat in the slot. There are notches to allow the processor to be inserted only in the correct orientation. I used my original heatsink and elected to bypass the included one in the box. Note that it comes with thermal paste pre-applied to the contact surface Replacing the processor took about five minutes. The original HP heatsink and fan assembly is much superior to the one Intel includes in its boxed processor, and I uspect the same is true of other makes. The original assembly is screwed in (doesn't use pins), has a thicker/taller heatsink, and a better protected, more substantial looking fan. I was surprised Intel would include something so flimsy looking in the box. It's also got these push-pins to secure the processor that didn't seem to work right; the assembly still slid up and down where it should have been a tight fit. I scraped the pre-applied thermal paste off the new heatsink, and between that and the residual paste left on from the Celeron processor, I was able to cover the transfer surface on the old heatsink adequately. I did some temp checks with a hardware monitor and temps were in the 30's to low 40's C under load, so I think I am good. The processor was recognized and is performing brilliantly with no issues whatsoever. Very pleased. So, in summary: The processor is awesome. See attached photo (old heatsink is installed over the new processor; the heatsink Intel includes for reference is pictured to the right).

This might be my favorite processor ever. Back when it was $62 it was impossible to beat that price to performance ratio, considering that you had to roughly triple the price to get roughly a 50% performance bump. Even now, with it bouncing between $75-85, it's still a pretty insane deal. I've used this for two builds now, one with a GTX 1060 and one with an RX 480 (which is basically the upper limit of what it can handle without seriously hampering performance). Both builds work great for 1080p, but due to the gpu heavy/cpu light nature of 4k gaming, It's actually proven to be a decent 4k gaming budget rig design. Granted AAA games aren't going to play at top settings, but you'd be surprised how well most games can play with that simple setup. I've been playing WoW/Rocket League and a few older games (2012 Tomb Raider) at 60fps 4k at around medium settings, and it looks great. I've had no issues with it at all, even with the stock cooler. I love this thing.

Built my First PC with this CPU, excellent for getting started building a budget Gaming PC. Works okay, little slow for the most recent games. Perfect for standard office use. Definitely the most power for money at this price. Not good for VR gaming of course. I have used this CPU for a little more than two years now and its still just as powerful as the day I got it, has not slowed down at all. Stays nice and cool easily if not using the stock cooler that comes with it. It just works and does the job. I have since replaced this CPU with a better one, but this one still keeps up okay. Will most likely Bottleneck anything past an Nvidia GTX 1050 Graphics card or something similar in performance, I'd recommend you pair this CPU with a GT 1030 graphics card, it would pair nicely like Bacon and Eggs. Just don't expect a super computer.

Wow!!! I can't believe how good this processor is, It really got me by suprise. I had an amd build before (1050ti graphics card) and got constant frame dips while gaming. Temps were also an issue (a10 7860k) which didnt make sence to begin with, 60-75 degrees while idle and 95-115 while gaming. With this processor its like my system died and went to heaven, no lag whatsoever. Temps are also quite amazing 36-40 degrees idle and 50-60 while gaming. My Rig: Pentium g4560 Zotac mini Gtx 1050ti Gigabyte h110 motherboard 16gb Avexir ddr4 2400mhz This setup also runs aaa titles on high to very high easily, well for now that is. GtaV, Rise of tomb raider, Cod IW and Shadow of mordor all ran great. Would recommend to anybody on a budget. Please buy with confidence.

The performance, compared to the cost, is excellent. However, the raw performance results were tepid at best. I would recommend this product for entry-level builds, but in no way is this a budget option for a "Gaming" or "Workstation" desktop. For that, the buyer should invest in an AMD Ryzen processor.

I just build my first computer using this processor. Due to the relatively cheap price (as far as pc builds go), I wasn't expecting too much punch in how fast everything moves. I was very pleased to discover it was way more than I was actually aiming for the in the first place. This wasn't going to be a gaming PC, but instead for general use. However, it ended up being able to play most games just fine, as long as the settings were low. Some games like Portal 2, however, ran perfectly on the highest settings. Overall, I'm super happy with the speed of this processor given the price. Highly recommended for anyone who doesn't want to have to deal with any computer lag.

I have been building PC's for over 20 years. The Pentium G4500 @ 3.5 GHz is a great foundation for any system. Recently built four machines for an office using the: GIGABYTE GA-B250M-DS3H motherboard and 16 GB of DDR4 Ram (Kingston Hyper X Fury XMP capable), 250 M.2 WD Blue SSD, WD Blue 1 TB 3.5" back up hard drive etc. For a case I prefer the Rosewill Micro-ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with Dual USB 3.0, Dual Fans. Running Windows 10 Pro this machine is as fast or faster than many i3 and i5 chips. Boot time with Start-up optimized is about 15 seconds. Pairing the M.2 motherboard mounted SSD with the Pentium G4500 or the newer G5400 processor yields a powerful PC, not only for home and office but also for the gamer.Driving the price is the Ram you choose.

Built a budget M-ITX gaming rig for my father. Obviously nothing too fancy, but man was I surprised by the capabilities this little guy has! Runs nice and cool and has a decent set of cojones to play games if paired with a half decent GPU. Long story short... if you're doing a budget build, this is the CPU to get.

ASRock H110M-HDVに乗せて１台組みました メモリ８GB グラボ無し ＳＳＤのシンプルな構成で 試しにドラクエ１０のベンチを回してみましたが 標準画質でスコア６０００強で「快適」でした ゲームはしないので十分過ぎる性能です 純正ＣＰＵクーラーですがベンチを回してもとても静かです。 この値段で２コア４スレッドは良いですが スマホと比べて進化しなくなっているのも事実です。 円安で最近は値上がり傾向なのでお得感はそれほどありませんでした それでもコスパは良いです

Transacción perfecta, el producto llegó en perfecto estado y era tal cual lo describió el vendedor. No es un procesador de alta gama pero para un pc de uso ofimático y gaming ocasional tiene un rendimiento mas que decente. Lo he probado junto con una GTX 1050ti en varios de los juegos mas populares de este 2018 (PUBG,ROCKET LEAGUE,BF5, FORTNITE) y aunque está claro que hay que bajar calidades para ganar FPS, todos me han resultado perfectamente jugables.

fairly good for the price, hasn't broken down in about 2 months, and is surprisingly powerful

Nachdem ich im letzten Jahr mir einen Rechner für die neue Skylake Generation zusammengebaut habe, hatte ich leider nicht mehr genug Budget übrig um mir einen i5 zu kaufen. Also musste anfänglich der G4400 rein. Was ich nicht gedacht hatte ist das der G4400 für fast alles ausgereicht hatte bis auf diverse spiele die von mehr als zwei kernen profitieren. Nun habe ich mir den G4560 eingebaut und er hat mir vorerst den Kauf eines i5 erspart dadurch das er Hyperthreading benutzt. Dies ist eine absolute Kaufempfehlung. Die Werbung von Intel von Intel gibt hat zu einer kompletten fehl Information der Käufer geführt. Ohne Frage hat ein i5 und ein i7 eine höhere Leistung, aber dies lässt sich wirklich erst merken wenn mann auch eine GFX Karte hat die davon profitiert. Mit meiner R9 380x ist die CPU nicht die limitierende Instanz sondern die GFX. Käufer sollten sich bewusst sein das erst ab einer GTX 1070 der kauf einer besseren CPU lohnt. Natürlich wenn das Budget reicht und mann es will sollte man immer bessere Hardware Kaufen. Aber wie schon gesagt ich konnte an dieser CPU nichts aussetzen und sie funktioniert super, ein riesen Schritt besser als die G4400.
