About This Product
The Intel Pentium G3220 is a dual-core Haswell processor for the LGA 1150 socket. With a base clock of 3.0 GHz and no hyper-threading, it offers basic performance suitable for general desktop use and light office tasks. Its integrated graphics can handle video playback and very undemanding games, but it is significantly outperformed by modern budget CPUs and APUs in both CPU and GPU tasks.
Verdict
βBest for extremely budget-conscious builds needing basic desktop functionality and light use.β
