Review on Intel Pentium Processor G3220 BX80646G3220 by Adam Dziarnowski ᠌

Only the G3430 and G3420 models come with a 1600 MHz memory controller, the processor frequency differs by 100 MHz (3%) (3.3 and 3.2 GHz) The previous generation with support for 1600 MHz RAM was in the Pentium G21xx (Ivi), and the older Pentium G2130 was as clocked as the younger Haswell (3.2 GHz) With its pros: 1) G3430 - The fastest in the Pentium line. The score for the Win7 processor is 7.1 points (although the G3420 also has 7.1). 2) The memory controller in the G34xx, unlike the G32xx, supports working with RAM at a frequency of 1600 MHz! Nowhere is this merit mentioned. Win7 memory score -7.9! (2х4Gb 1600 CL7) 3) Integrated video core: - uses the RAM to fit your needs, and, as a consequence of point 2 - also works much faster. - 10 function blocks, 40 stream processors, unlike previous Pentium (Ivy) which used HD 2500 with only 6 blocks. High resolutions seem to be no problem. - In the BIOS of any motherboard, the video core is also set to 1250 MHz. Win7 score becomes aero-6.6 game-6.6. 4) There are VT-x, and VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT), and SSE4.1/4.2 sets. 5) In the device manager, the integrated video core can be simultaneously displayed with a discrete video card, like on laptops. I don’t know what it gives yet, but is it possible that you can plug the monitor without rebooting ?! Cons: 1) Unlike the previous ones (Ivi) - support for Intel Quick Sync was removed from the video core. 2) Support for streaming extensions AVX and AES-NI (which appeared now in i3 Haswell) is cut out here. 3) vPro/TSX-NI/TXT/VT-d technologies - none.
