Product Information

A PC that is equipped with this innovative Intel Pentium processor can unite great performance with everyday tasks. As is to be expected with the Intel brand, this CPU offers a tremendous amount of raw processing power, perfect for many high-performance computing tasks. These include video rendering, processing 3D graphics in drafting and modeling, and even gaming. It is also effective for simple web browsing and video chat. The two physical cores in this CPU run at 3.2 GHz, a speed that is ideal for running a few processing-heavy tasks or many smaller simultaneous tasks. Couple that with a fast bus speed, good memory capacity, and a reasonable 53W power requirement, and it makes for a good high-end PC component.With the Intel Pentium G3258, you get reliable PC performance that lets you communicate with friends and family, enjoy entertainment online, and make the most of music and photos. A cache of 3MB is markedly better than previous iterations of Intel processors, as is the faster bus speed. Additionally, this CPU supports Intel Extreme software, meaning you can easily overclock this processor to even faster clock speeds. Ordinarily, chips can only be boosted through the BIOS, so this software boosting capability is an added convenience. The dual-core G3258 can be boosted by greater than 4 GHz. Running high-demand programs and games is a breeze on an overclocked Pentium like this one. For entry-level desktop builds that have a minimal barrier to entry, this dual-core chip is a good, solid choice.Making a budget desktop build with CPUs such as this Pentium is quite simple. What's convenient about it is that it supports high-performance hardware, but can also run legacy components, consequently offering the best of both worlds. In particular, this Intel chip supports DDR3 memory, so it can run a variety of RAM sticks. As a part of the Haswell series of Intel chips, this Pentium also supports Direct3D and OpenGL, making it terrific for gaming and other high-intensity 3D applications. Although many gaming computer builds will require a separate GPU, the Intel HD graphics on these CPUs are capable of playing a few games, and can even support 2k resolutions natively. With this component in your build, expect benchmark results of more than 3 GHz and up to 4 GHz with overclocking.An Intel Pentium processor delivers the Intel level of performance you expect and quality you can count on. This model is certainly no exception to the high standards of this industry-leading manufacturer. Benchmarks of completed builds containing the G3258 run at impressively high clock speeds, not to mention the speed boosts possible with overclocking. The multiple core layout of this chipset ensures many different programs can run smoothly at the same time, and multiple displays are also supported. Since the G3258 has an LGA 1150 socket, it will work for a wide variety of motherboards. These include boards manufactured by Asus, MSI, ASRock, and Gigabyte, among others. In addition, these processors will work well with DDR3 memory from brands like Crucial, G-Skill, Corsair and Axiom.
