The Intel range The Pentium G6000 range arrived in January 2010, and is made up of dual-core processors with a built-in graphics chipset.Based on the Clarkdale architecture, they have 3 MB of L3 cache and use an 1156 socket. Engineered at 32 nm,...
By DigitalVersus onAt the end of the day, both of these CPUs offer solid value. The Pentium G6950 is a decent starter CPU with tremendous overclocking potential and a platform that has a lot of room to grow with the user. The downside? Poor...
By Tom's Hardware onWhile a comparable AMD system is a tad cheaper, AMD does not cripple it's chipset and CPUs as much as Intel does. By cost per performance the performance as you have seen is on par, even hyperthreading on the i3 does work well. What is surprising,...
By Fudzilla onTwo months ago AMD released a bunch of new CPUs priced between $70 - $120. For the past couple of years AMD has been enjoying the fact that Intel's newest architectures start out at the higher price points, and take their sweet time to trickle down...
By AnandTech onWriting this article covering AMD's Phenom II X2 555 introduction and including Intel's Pentium G6950 (we knew that this would be a hot comparison, pardon the pun) was a humbling experience. This is the first time I've committed...
By Tom's Hardware onStill, there is very little difference between the Pentium G6950/H55 and Phenom II X2 550/785G configurations that we used for this article, and both will cost you less than $200 US. Either option is powerful enough for typical day to day tasks, while...
By Legion Hardware onSumming up everything we have just said, we can only state that the launch of new LGA1156 processors has significantly expanded the application field for this platform. It became a truly mainstream and universal platform, because now there are almost...
By X-bit Labs onUn processeur bureautique au tarif accessible et suffisamment rapide pour donner de la fluidité au système d'exploitation. Ne lui en demandez toutefois pas trop : les calculs lourds prennent du temps et les jeux vidéo ne sont pas son...

Dernier match, le Pentium G6950 face à l'Athlon II X3 440, aux allentours de 70 à 80 euros. Moins cher, l'Athlon II X3 440 est quasi systématiquement devant, sauf dans le très particulier moteur d'Enemy Territory Quake Wars où son manque de...

At stock speeds, the Pentium G6950 has a genuine rival in the Athlon II X3 445 – both produce the same overall score, but the X3 445 will reduce the time you have to wait for lengthy video or audio encodes and is more adept at heavy multi-tasking....
