New 7th Gen Pentium G4600?

[Apache Protocol]

I know some people will push there idea but sometimes people really have no cash to spend around but this time i wanna ask around, I have been browsing around in ark.intel.com and saw that they release a new Pentium G4600 and at 1st i though great speed bump and intel hd graphics but then saw it was Hyper Threading Enable.

 

So do you think that this is Real or just a Miss Information.

 

i have build almost 20 G4400 PC here locally in my Area for Customers and Friend and Family and non of them really complain but some of my Customer are just E-Sport Gamer and other's have no budget for a GPU so if the New G4600 is going to be a 2 Core 4 Threads and Intel HD 630 this might be a Game Changer for some Low Budget People around here in my Location.

You could try asking intel directly, but it seems correct, I guess it can be used as an i3 substitute, can't find any differences really between it and the i3 6100 

[SCHISCHKA]

g4600 does look really good & cheaper than the i3-6100. I might get one for lower power consumption, ill be waiting for the CSGO benchmarks. Imagine what the i3 will be like because the specs are similar to the i3-6100

[2FA]

It's real but it will still be fairly slow considering it is 400MHz slower than the slowest i3 in the new line up.

[Apache Protocol]

Damn for real if this is going to be release by the end of Q1 i will have a lot of potential customer crawling back, we have tested a lot of G4400 with Basic games and as of now none of them called to return their Unit.

 

I would love to try this and it true right Some Intel 100 Series Chipset can support 7th Gen with a Bios Update?.

the pentium in question is at 3.6ghz, and the i3 7100 is 3.9ghz

 

looks like an i3 6100 replacement yes

Depending on when you're building and the budget the overclocking i3 might be worth waiting for

[ChuckMaurice]

Would it also be a good pick for gaming with a middle-end graphics card or is it just too limited in comparison of an i3/i5 ?

[dizmo]

Damn, that's pretty awesome. Would make a great addition to an office build just to make sure you have all the power you need.

It'd be a little too limiting. For mid tier I'd really try and go for the lowest tier i5.

the i3 6100 is generally fine for 60hz gaming, only going to bottleneck in very CPU intensive games, this thing looks like it has the same specs

yeah so a lot of my customer here locally in my area are kinda old title games and some of them really don't play gta v. and some people here can't even purchase a decent 1080p screen thats why alot of them only have 720p even so i still think that this might be a good upgrade from the previous G3258 > G4400 > G4600 i just hope that i could at least try it first hand before i can build for other people.

the G4560 looks to be the lowest end CPU with hyperthreading
http://ark.intel.com/products/97143/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G4560-3M-Cache-3_50-GHz

Although in that case, be sure to look for AM4 APU stuff, you won't even need a dedicated GPU for pretty reasonable 720p gaming

 

here's last gen benchmarks, does pretty alright considering those builds are generally $250 USD and below for new parts anyways

i would agree if my client is really a gamer but most of them are office pc and home pc and some light games but average they use the pc for other task the "4" G4400 i build for a Client that play CS 1.6 not CS GO and Dota not Dota 2. and when i get a client that going to play those game i always recommend i3 6100 but my topic was if this G4600 is going to be like a i3 6100 things will change to the super low budget people.

 

and just to give you an idea the cost of the A8 7650K is around $85 and a G4400 $50 here in the Philippines, and if my Client will spend $85 for an Old Architecture i would let him save a little bit more for the i3 6100 for $110 a much wiser upgrade path. yes this will be vary on client to client but at the end of the day until Zen comes i still go for the Intel Line.

That's what AM4 is for, it'll have an upgrade path, and it'll have actual GPU performance, like in those benchmarks, so yall can finally upgrade to Dota 2 lol, although I think I'd prefer all stars over the newest patch 7.00

but ya those 4 thread pentiums look like last gen i3 replacements, should be fine overall

[Apache Protocol]

AM4 wish it come outsoon.

Hi, I thought I' share my thoughts, as I've been drooling over the kaby lake / 200 series lineup for weeks, and whilst I haven't got the new board to drop it into yet, my new G4600 arrived yesterday.

I've only seen 1 benchmark of the G4600 so far, which puts it, in a very general manner, performance wise somewhere between the i3-6100 and the i3-6300.

 

It definitely has 2 threads per core (so 4 virtual cores available). 

 

*This is based on the view that I will be relying on the gpu integrated graphics, at least for now, and not using a separate graphics card.

 

If I had gone for a skylake, it would have been the G4500 (NOT the G4400), because there's a slight disadvantage with the gpu graphics chipset from the 530 which the G4500 has to the 520 (which the G4400 has). 

This I would have to assume is going to be similar to the kaby lake G4600 which is the lowest spec desktop pentium that has the 630 graphics in it. (it also has a .05 mhz faster gpu base clock than the i3-6100).  Also, that G4560 only has the 610 graphics chipset.

 

The reason I'm telling you this is because, whilst mine will be mainly a workstation and test bed, I wanted the option of using it for light gaming.  Particularly, I was looking at getting Civilization 6, and the benchmarks I've seen say that the intel HD 520 gpus cannot run it, whilst the intel HD 530 gpus can.  The G4600 was the best looking option for money that I could drop into a z270 board, there's a reason of the slight difference in price between the G4400 and G4500, I'm certain that will be reflected between the G4600 and the lower variant too, but this is partly why.  over here the price i paid for the G4600, is £100 less than the estimated release cost of the i3-7350k. which i would have been tempted by had it not been priced like that.

 

*I believe that all of the series 100 chipset boards will support the new 7th gen chips with a bios update, but worth checking yourself on an individual basis.

 

I hope this helps you a little,  I'm impatiently waiting for my new mobo, so I can benchmark up the new G4600 and compare properly to published results on the G4500, G4520, i3-6100, i3-6300.

Hey bud, I'm also from the PH. Just wanna ask about G4400. Do you pair with a dedicated graphics card? Or just the G4400 for light gaming? @Apache Protocol

Yes and it will depend on your games, and some games might need more CPU so keep that in mind as well. For my Client Build I always do my personal survey to help them what they really need and so.

Cache and clock speeds plus overclocking capabilities

Your right but how can you compare the price... no just messing with you. your true but cache are the same at 3M so you won at clock speed by 100MHz but Intel HD 630 for the Pentium, I am only pointing this out cause as my Topic was for a Budget build with future upgrade and the games my client play are not really demanding.

There's basically no reason to buy a non overclocking i3 anymore

it's maybe 5% slower at most, we just need some cheaper Z270 boards so there's a great upgrade path to an i7 7700K
