Review on Intel Pentium Graphics Retail Processor by Mateusz Uliasz ᠌

I took it to replace the old iron. In the truest sense of the old: Pentium 4 661 3.6 ghz stood. This one turned out to be 3-4 times faster. Cold, thanks to a thinner process technology and the fact that the frequency drops to 1.6 GHz in idle. I have a Cooler Master TX3 cooler (it costs about 600) and in idle the temperature is 26-30 degrees, and under load it does not rise above 45-50, and this despite the fact that the revolutions are at the level of 900-1200 out of 2800 possible, i. E. . you sit in complete silence. Toys. Yes, you can chop heartily if the video card is discrete. I have a sapphire hd 5850 xtreme and so far nothing has slowed down at maximum settings. The only things that bring the processor to its knees are open-world games like GTA4 or Skyrim, tweaked and stuffed with texture mods. Well, Crysis is also back to back. Cool Sam 3 in this configuration gave out 50-140 frames / s. Socket 1155. Quite a good choice - for a start, you can get by with this processor, and then take something more powerful. Price. I took (in the summer of 2022) for 2600 + some average motherboard from asus for 3100-3500 = 6000-6500. The processor has built-in video, and one 4 GB DDR3 bar is now cheap - about 800-1000. So the transition to a new platform is relatively inexpensive. + compatible coolers from socket 1156. It makes no sense to take a Pentium on the ivy bridge, because processor performance is identical, so take the g850 better if you save.
