Earlier this week I posted some benchmarks looking at Intel Pentium vs. AMD Ryzen 3 performance for Linux gaming. Those tests on the Pentium and Ryzen systems were done with both NVIDIA and AMD Radeon graphics for seeing how the gaming performance...
By Phoronix onHowever, as good as it is for its ridiculously low cost, it's also important to recognise its limitations in real world gaming: many of us prefer the PC experience because it allows us to break free of the 30fps limits found in console titles - and 1080p60 gaming remains a highly desirable experience. Results here with the Pentium G4560 are variable and as good as it is as a budget processor, we still recommend a fast i5 for 60fps gaming on demanding modern titles.
By EuroGamer onThe Pentium G4600 isn't adequate though for heavily threaded workloads and applications that prefer a greater amount of CPU cache. The Pentium CPU also does poorly for applications that benefit greatly from AVX/AVX2 support. But overall for a CPU less than $90 USD I am happy with the purchase and will be playing around with this processor in a few more tests in future articles on Phoronix.
By Phoronix onDeutlich unter dem Durchschnitt - im Test erreicht der Prozessor Intel Pentium G4600 ein sehr schwaches Gesamtergebnis mit 42,6 Punkten. Highlights sind uns während des Tests nicht aufgefallen. Das Gerät kann in keiner Einzelwertung herausstechen. Einen...
