Intel's Pentium G4560 Is The New King of The Budget CPUs Under $100 US

The Intel Pentium G4560 is part of the Kaby Lake family of processors which were launched at CES 2017. The lineup includes several Pentium and Core series processors. The Pentium G4560 is a $64 US processor which is placed in the lineup and may not look like much until we get into the specifications of this part.

Intel Pentium G4560 Processor Specifications:

The Pentium G4560 is a dual core processor that comes with Hyper-Threading Technology. It has four threads and this is the first time Intel has enabled the technology on Pentium series processors. The CPU comes with clock speeds of 3.50 GHz base frequency but no boost clocks. The chip stores a 3 MB L3 cache and has a TDP of 54W. The processor also packs the latest HD Graphics 610 clocked at 1150 MHz. The chip has a price of 64 USD which is really good.
