Review on 💻 Intel Pentium Gold G-6400 Desktop Processor: 2 Cores, 4.0 GHz, LGA1200, Intel 400 Series Chipset, 58W (BX80701G6400) by James Prizgint

I wanted to make this review to directly address those who are thinking about buying for games as I haven't seen too many reviews about it. This processor is insanely good, but you need to know what games you want to play before you pull the trigger. This is a 2-core 4-thread processor and is equivalent to the previous generation i3 processors. It's very fast for browsing and basic needs, but how does it work in-game? Here is my experience. I paired this with an R9 380 4GB GPU and 8GB DDR4 memory at 2666. Windows 10. Some test examples: Apex Legends: AVG 65, Low 46 at Low/High combo. Witcher III: AVG 71, dropping to 50 in Novigrad. , all high with shadow on low Fortnite: AVG 123, Low 76, Competitive settings Modern Warfare: 50-60 AVG on a mix of settings Now obviously these are rough examples and YMMV dependent on your GPU and configuration. You can probably even increase frame rates with a 10th gen i3. However, if you're on a budget or don't really care about the world's most stable frames, this processor is a killer value. I certainly learned an important lesson with this processor. Don't worry about frames anymore and just enjoy the games. However, the performance this processor can offer on a healthy PC build is more than acceptable. It's not an AAA chip for great games, but by 2015 it will play great in many games.
