A fast and powerful processor for entry level gaming and heavy computer use,
So I bought this processor 3 weeks ago and I can honestly say I am loving it. It’s a dual core processor clocked at 3.0GHz AND its on Sandy Bridge architecture! Although it lacks the hyperthreading that its i3 cousins have, it still performs very nicely. It runs at about 25C using the stock cooler and will go up to 36C at full load still running silent however. The integrated GPU is not an Intel Graphics 2000/3000 however, it is just called Intel Graphics Family. Do not underestimate this however. This integrated GPU can easily max out Call of Duty 4 with no AA and run at 30-40 FPS and it plays Minecraft on full settings with a 128×128 texture pack at 45 FPS. If you are in the market for a budget processor that runs cool and don’t want to pony up another $30 for the i3, definitely pick this processor up for even one of its little brothers, the G850 or G840.

this cpu is just Awesome. if you’re on a low budget and you want a cpu that doesn’t bottleneck your vga. and not attending to do a lot of rendering. this is the cpu for you.

|Highly underated budget gaming CPU,
This CPU has very nearly the same gaming performance as a Sandy Bridge i3 2120. Take a look at the comparisons between it and the i3 2120 on line. That means it outperforms in gaming the non-overclocked AMD FX 4100, the Phenom X4 955 and all the AM1 processors if you add a graphics card. Only has a WEI of 6.8 but in Gaming its performance is stellar. BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK BAR NONE!
I bought this CPU as a cheap test work horse that was Sandy Bridge so I would not have to sacrifice my Ivy Bridge CPU’s. This chip goes in first to update the bios and get a first run on the machine before the more expensive chip goes in.
