Perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

This processor I purchased is very elegant!

Works in a passive manner and is desired. Even without case airflow, the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 cooler keeps everything cold. The passive typically has a temperature of 40 degrees. Prime95 was able to maintain 68 degrees under load for 30 minutes; the heat is gone! You can lower the temperature even farther using a more expensive cooler. But it's also not terrible.
As is common over here, I'm unable to report on Windows estimations because Windows 8.1 removed them.
Ideal processor for people building a HTPC or a silent system unit, in my opinion.

Pros

G3220 Price. Cold. at the price, productive. Pentium on Ivy Bridge that is more productive and uses less electricity (and hence produces less heat) at the same time! You can watch 1080p and even 4k video with the built-in video card. When held in your hands, it feels heavy.

Cons
