What can a $93 and $65 2C/4T Pentium do?

Spoiler

Better than old Pentium, worse than i3, big shocker.

The only glaring thing I can see from those benchmarks, is that they ran the G3258 at STOCK. Might as well have used a G3250 instead. I wish they would have included benchmark results with the G3258 @ 4.0, and again at 4.4+ (as high as they could go).

I have a feeling, that other than gaming frametimes, the G3258 would have fared pretty well at 4.4 at the application benchmarks.

Not really seeing a compelling reason to buy the g4620 over the g4560 (these names though, really?)

Yeah, the comments section complains about the OC issue as well. That said, the MT capabilities of the new chips plus the video decode/encode features I think makes it a much better buy. Any idea if any motherboards still offer the non-K OC capabilities (SKY OC BIOS equivalent)?

Here's your answer for that. In a title like BF1, an OC'd G3258 eats it hard.

Need to disable memory compression.
Not even a celeron at 2.7 drops that hard in that level if it's disabled.
