Intel Pentium G4620: A new budget CPU king?

Shame, well if you ever switch to the igpu give it a shot.

Boom are you using the IGPU for display? if so can you try out the the below vid set at 4K and tell me how much CPU usage. Want to know how much the new VP9 encoder reduces CPU usage. Need to use chrome.

You and me both. I'm considering this for an HTPC.

Yeah, I saw cpu usage drop to 10% with a GTX 1050, sold that on now so looking to kaby for 4K VP9/HEVC video.

Really really impressed. Tbh I am baffled by this lil chip xD

It literally copes with all my games combined with a 750 Ti @ 1080P. I dunno why I go so high end tbh. £65, confused...

If I wasn't such a technology whore I would just build a PC with this for myself.

How are the temps?

IDLE 28C / MAX LOAD 47C, under AIO cooling.

I imagine this could be cooled passively.

It's like you read my mind, that's what I was thinking about.

poor editing but will play the same as i3 for games

Anyone been able to overclock one of these like the Anniversary Edition Skylake?

Was there ever such a thing? :confused:

The G3258 was haswell based and had an unlocked multi like K chips. I hardly think a feature like that is going to slip by unnoticed.

Nice video, running 4K stream on my FX8350 it averages 85% :eek:

The GTX1080 wasn't fussed though

SupraWez · 10 Jan 2017 at 19:34

Would these be under powered for a dedicated VR rig with a GTX1080, seem like a bargain

Oh yeah, too many codes lol!

Definitely the best value for money CPU on the market right now. Hopefully AMD have a strong showing in this segment too!

Boomstick777 · 11 Jan 2017 at 11:13

^^

Can def vouch for the chip. I'm still waiting for it to fail at something. So far has impressed me. Was playing Tomb Raider and Battlefront on Pentium / GTX 750 Ti earlier thinking this should not be possible

punky_munky · 13 Jan 2017 at 18:51

So what would be a good GPU to pair this with? I'm assuming if you go too high end on the GPU the CPU will become the limiting factor in performance? And finally, are AMD likely to release something better than this in the next couple of months?

Marcoloves360 · 15 Jan 2017 at 16:46

Now he just need asrock to give us non k overclock

I'll have an HTPC up and running this week using a G4560, I'll post the results here for you.

RavenXXX2 · 16 Jan 2017 at 20:19

Cheers.

No stock of it anywhere. Intel might just have caught on to the fact it basically makes the i3 obsolete so are limiting availability, they are that scummy.
