Intel Pentium G3258

[Humble Bee]

I was just pondering with the idea of creating a cheap small pc(mini-itx), just for surfing the internet and possibly set up as a NAS in the future. I thought the new pentium G3258 would be perfect as its unlocked so I can have some fun overclocking, even though not needed. But does it have intergrated graphics or will I have to be running a dedicated graphics card?

it has dedicated afaik.

if not, you can do an amd APU.

The pentium had got the standard intel intergrated graphics.

it has intel hd graphics, it would be better to go with a apu that has a better igpu.

Ok thats great, I was sceptical whether it would given how cheap it is.

For this build I care very little for the graphical horse-power all its going to be for is booting to windows, a bit of internet browsing etc.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Yeah but tbh unless you're doing extreme push-it-to-the-limit OC's, an APU will still be better. A G3258 is really only optimal for people who play a lot of single or double-threaded games. For general use, APUs still take the crown.

A quick look at intel's website will tell you everything you need to know, the pentium G3258 does indeed have integrated Intel HD graphics.
