Intel Pentium G620 Dual Core 2.6 GHz Intel HD Graphics Retail LGA 1155 Processor - BX80623G620

Posted

Pros: Great for basic usage, low power, low heat

Cons: Not very good at multi-threaded applications

I used this in an ITX build that i made, it is wonderful, and is very fast. Suits basic needs for my mother's pc. Put a SSD in with it, and it will be "the fastest PC ever" xD

Pros: Speedy performance, Great value, Stays VERY cool, rock solid stabile, Onboard graphics are GREAT for HD movies

Cons: Locked multiplier (non-Overclockable), poor performance in heavily threaded applications (what do you expect from a Pentium?), max 1066mhz memory

I bought one of these four months ago to revive an old project I had been working on. The G620 is everything I wanted and more. This little Sandy Bridge dual core completely exceeded my expectations. I've had multiple different applications open at once and found that she just keeps on chugging along. While it's not a super high end quad core, nor does it support HyperThreading, this thing is probably the best bang for buck CPU on the market right now for Office work and moderate/heavy multitasking. Pair it with a couple of 1066mhz DDR3 and you're off to the races!
Another thing which simply shocked me is how cool this thing runs. It idles at THREE DEGREES higher than my ambient. I was floord. HWMonitor and CoreTemp both confirm this. Idling at THREE degrees higher than ambient is stinking impressive. When I loaded it up with Prime95 to see how hot she'd get, I couldn't get it to rise above 42C (ambient 25C).
Overall, this CPU is an EXCELLENT buy for internet browsing, office work, light movie editing, and it actually plays Team Fortress 2 smooth as buttered glass on the internal GPU. This is definitely a five-thumber!
