Will There Be A Overclockable Broadwell Pentium?

I'm wondering what Intel will replace the G3258 with. Do you think that Broadwell will have an overclockable Pentium in the lineup or is the G3258 just a one time thing? I'd like to use one in a system for family, but if a newer version is in the works, I'd just wait for that since I'm in no hurry.

I think it may have just been a special one time deal since it was the 20th anniversary of the pentium, I wouldn't expect them to continue it.

The G3258 was for the 20th Pentium anniversary only. 

 

Don't expect a new one.

I don't think so. The G3258 was a special version for a big anniversary for the Pentium. 

but they might do it again.

It was a one time thing. The 'new' Pentiums after LGA 1155 are all locked. Only K series are overclockable.

it's pointless to have an unlocked dual core in 2015...so i guess the answer is no...and i assume the celeron and pentium dual core are on the way out...they will probably not renew them i think they should have only core i3, i5 and i7...

Pointless? Not everyone uses a PC for Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition. Some people just use it for paying bills, shopping, web browsing, word processing, and an occasional game of War Thunder. Dual cores are fine for everyday tasks. A casual overclock and they perform almost on par with an i3 for $40 less.

If you're having issues with an unlocked pentium your setup was wrong. It played every game I threw at it

Yeah. There's a major problem with his setup. Plus only 4gb of memory doesn't help

its still better than a locked dual core. if you only have £80 to spend on a cpu and motherboard then the G3258 is a great choice, with an upgrade path.

Probably not.

It's a shame... I wish they had unlocked chips for all families. Would LOVE to see an i3-4130K =)

With 99% certainty, the answer is NO. The G3258 was kind of limited edition processor launched because of the 20th anniversary of Intel.
