Intel BX80662G4400 Pentium Processor G4400 3.GHz Fclga1151

Surprisingly fast for the price. It makes no sense at all to buy an i3 for the few hundred megahertz you're paying double or more than the Pentiums. Both i3s and Pentiums are dual core / quad thread CPUs with minimal differences in performance but drastic pricing differences. If you want something fast either muster up the extra cash for an i5 or just buy an AMD Ryzen CPU and motherboard. The Ryzen 3 is the same price as an i3 dual core quad thread but is overclockable and is a quad core quad thread just like an i5. Almost all Ryzen CPU's can hit 3.9 Ghz. Keep in mind Ryzen's don't have any intergrated GPUs as of yet so you would need to spend some more money for a dedicated graphics card. For some this isn't an issue since you can choose to spend a little more to get much better graphics than an iGPU like the ones in the Intel Core lineup excluding the high end desktop platforms. Keeping that in mind for the price of the Pentium you can't beat it considering the fact that there's an intergrated GPU too, which is more than enough for people like me who use these CPUs for home theater pc's and for pretty nice entry level gaming platform on a budget.

Low power consumption, works fine for normal light use and NAS applications. Support for DDR4 ram, new connection standards, etc. It also comes with a stock cooler. iGPU is Intel HD 510. One thing to take into consideration when buying this processor is that unlike the G3258 20th Anniversary edition, the multipler is locked. This means that you can't overclock it. Without overclocking, they perform roughly the same, but if you overclock the G3258, it would smoke this processor. However, by buying this processor you get a much better platform in regards to future-proofing. Skyline brings native support for NVME drives which have blistering fast speeds, USB 3.1, DDR4, Skylake upgrade path, etc. TL:DR Future proof platform & slightly better iGPU= G4400 Pure Performance/Price=G3258 3/2016 Update- Intel has released a newer microcode which blocks BCLK Overclocking, however I would recommend this processor over the G3258 due to falling DDR4 prices and future-proofability.

Depending on what you're doing and the gpu you pair with the g4400 expect some pretty good results. I don't do anything insane. I play world of warcraft, PoE, LoL. In WoW I easily 100+fps around high settings 1080p. Understanding what you do is important in choosing your processor and choosing a gpu that doesn't bottleneck your cpu. I have the g4400 with a 750 ti and it does all I need it to do. Without hiccups. Now if you're doing some heavy stuff like regular video editing, large amounts of multi-tasking, streaming. Things of those natures look elsewhere. I personally recommend one of the new ryzen cpus which does have lower per core performance but it's multi-thread performance is significantly better, therefore you can easily multi-task, have multiple programs open, easily video edit, stream etc. In terms of workload ryzen smashes a lot of the higher priced intel equivalents (not always in terms of pure performance but for the price you can't beat ryzen at the moment). Most important thing is performance to dollar. I recommend if you want to purchase a cpu to do your research, understand what you're doing. Google is your friend and channels like Linus tech tips will help you through the process.

It runs cool, quiet and smooth in low demanding apps. I matched it with a cheap SSD and the overall speed is quite good. Of course it is NOT a CPU for gaming nor for design apps

Perfect for a budget gaming build, for more than one reason. You could look at this and think that a dual core is in the past and that this would be hardly capable of running anything, gaming-wise, but you'd be wrong. For the budget PC builder, or someone just starting out with plans to upgrade later, this little guy provides for both of these needs. One word: Skylake A dual core skylake processor is the best thing you can get right now for a budget or starter PC, because you can upgrade later on and not feel like your stuff is getting outdated. With an 1151 socket, you are preparing a build that most likely will last you for years. A decent motherboard, paired with ram and you are setting yourself up for success. Upgrade this processor to an i5 and invest a little into a decent GPU and you probably won't even have to upgrade anything else in your build for a long time. A great value considering a G3258 is currently more expensive, less current than this processor. Can't beat this deal. Used this in a client's build and after doing a check in with them, they couldn't be happier. Giving this five stars, because price to performance makes this a superb value.

This was a stand-in processor while troubleshooting why my desktop would POST, but would fail to load any OS at all. Not wanting to dump 320 bucks for an i7-6700K on the off-chance that it was something else, I went with this, a basic no-frills Skylake Pentium. Slapped it in, snapped in the stock cooler, and the machine fired right up (which meant that my processor had died - time to budget a proper replacement). The G4400 handled basic tasks fine, even handled some light gaming (Sims 4, Minecraft), but bogged down badly when demanding triple-a titles were being used (Fallout 4, GTA V and so on), even with reduced settings. This was expected, since it is a 2-core/2-thread unit (the G4560 Pentium hyperthreads, so it's a 2c/4t unit - and resides in my daughter's built desktop). All considered, for the price I paid, it did what I expected it to do and held up. Now that I've received my proper replacement CPU, the G4400 will be placed into a parts bin, while I figure out what to do with it next.

Do note: I haven't been using this more than a few days, so I cannot speak for long term efficiency, or usage peaks etc. AMAZING for servers. Actually FreeNAS forums have this CPU listed as one of the recommended ones for 'light usage' servers. It's pretty much the cheapest thing you can get without compromising on things you'd generally need. It has AES-NI for encryption if you need it, it has dual cores and it's a relatively recent architecture - meaning you can expect a certain amount of efficiency and technology in this CPU. The TDP is pretty low to begin with. I CAN'T speak for what the actual watt usage IS in reality for me, but it's usually running at about 23°C - 25°C -- that at least says SOMETHING about efficiency and power consumption (it's likely not using too much power if it's managing to stay that cool with the included cooler).

This Processor Are Good For Your Gaming And Normal Work.... This Cpu Have Integrated Intel HD Graphics 510.... And Feature I Like In This Processor Are This Can Run GTA 5 In 720p Without Lag And Graphic Card In Low-Med Setting And Most Games On High Setting.. My Rig 1.G4400 Processor 2.MSI H110 Pro VH-Plus 3.Circle CC819 4.Circle Power Supply 500 W 5. 1 TB WD Hard Disk 6.Crucial 8GB 2133 MHz Ram Buying Graphic Card Soon.. GTX 1050 ti OC Edition 4GB

Ich habe mir die CPU gekauft weil ich gerne einen zweiten Pc für meine Frau und mich, für Office und Medien haben wollte. Diese Aufgabe erfüllt die CPU mit Bravur. Office Anwendungen, wie Powerpoint und nebenbei Musik streamen in Youtube (1080p) gar kein Problem. Meine Filme streamt der kleine ohne Ruckler auch, wenn meine Frau mal dran sitzt und arbeiten muss. Den mitgelieferten Boxed Lüfter finde ich persönlich zu laut und wird bald ausgetauscht ist aber Geschmackssache. Verbaut habe ich die CPU auf einen Micro-ATX Mainboard von ASRock mit DDR4 Technologie und natürlich auch ein DDR4-Ram von Ballistix Sport 8GB mit einer Taktfrequenz von 2133MHz. 4x WersternDigital mit je 2TB. Versorgt wird das ganze System von einen 350Watt starken Netzteil, welches noch ausreichend Reserven hat. PS: ich habe keine SSD verbaut damit kann man sicherlich noch bessere Leistungswerte erreichen. Ich würde die CPU jeden weiter empfehlen der sich für zu Hause einen kleinen Home Server aufbauen will, einen Office Pc braucht für wenig Geld, oder seinen Kindern eine Freude machen will und kein großes Budget hat, denn mit einer Grafikkarte wird man sicherlich damit einige Spiele, spielen können.

Excelente producto ,bien empaquetado, y ni que decir de la calidad, no es in procesador para videojuegos aunque para empezar con muy poco presupuesto es excelente , por si sólo mueve contenido a 2k sin problemas , y su rendimiento es muy bueno para el precio , recomendando por alguien que ha probrado procesadores de gama media y baja .

Siempre había montado procesadores AMD por precio con excelentes resultados pero tenía decidido cambiar a Intel, parece que las comparativas le otorgan algo más de potencia de procesado y un consumo muy bajo, que se traduce en una gestión de la temperatura más eficiente. Una vez decidido por Intel la elección de este procesador está basada en un comparativa con el i3-6100, este procesador tiene características muy similares al que nos ocupa, añade alguna tecnología avanzada que no creo que justifique la diferencia de precio, salvo porque cualquier procesador de última generación casi duplica el precio al de la anterior manteniendo datos claves sin diferencias destacables. Dado que comparten zócalo siempre se podrá actualizar en un futuro si la relación calidad precio lo aconseja, pero sería por un i5 donde los cuatro núcleos sí darían un cambio sustancial, siempre y cuando el uso que le demos demande esa potencia añadida. Debemos asegurarnos que la caja tiene el precinto intacto, en la misma podemos encontrar un manual de montaje, un disipador con ventilador con silicona térmica preinstalada y un pegatina del modelo. El procesador viene protegido en un blister, debemos manipularlo procurando no tocar la parte inferior donde se encuentran los pines, aliniarlo con el zócalo de la placa base sin forzarlo y bajar y anclar la palanca que lo mantendrá fijo, extender una fina pero uniforme capa de silicona térmica y después montar el disipador. El montaje no reviste dificultad y funcionó desde el principio sin ningún problema, tiempos de encendido, apertura de programas, manejo de archivos... todo es muy fluido, acompañado por placa Gigabyte H110M-S2HP, SSD Samsung 850 Pro y memoria Kingston KVR21N15D8/8. No le voy a forzar de ninguna manera, ni en frecuencia ni tensión y aunque con el ventilador de serie es suficiente le he montado un ventilador algo más solvente, hiper silencioso y silicona térmica de base cerámica para garantizar la mejor transferencia de calor y con lo que intento bajar un par de grados, que en épocas veraniegas se agradecerá. Es, definitiva, un procesador moderno, muy rápido, apto para cualquier tarea cotidiana y con potencia para procesar audio y vídeo de manera doméstica, con tanto solo 54 W de promedio de potencia de disipación con ambos núcleos activos y a plena carga de trabajo, con lo que si tienes una placa base que controle los ventiladores por PWM verás como giran a menos de la RPM máximas con mínimo nivel de ruido y con una temperatura de la CPU que no excede los 25 ºC. como es mi caso.
