Here is the scene they used for benchmarking (from the link above):

I might test this area myself with both G3258 and Athlon x4 860K at some later point in time. (Hopefully by then any software, game coding or driver issues have been resolved)

yeah i3 are decent for games, nothing wrong with them
Defending Pentium is a bit 2010

I am not defending the pentium. It is just that the statement that I replied to "A phenom 2 quad is absolutely better than a haswell dual core, even without overclock" is clearly an incorrect over-generalization.

I stand by the statement that it depends on the game, even if referring to the dual thread pentium, which the poster did not specify.

Edit: If he was only referring to GTA V, then yes, he is correct. Perhaps I misunderstood his post.
