Intel Pentium G4560 could be discontinued in favor of Core i3 processors

Intel would be stopping producing Intel Pentium G4560 processors and this would go up in price, because the Intel Core i3 processors are not being sold, overshadowed by the G4560.

One of the best Intel processors of recent times is the Intel Pentium G4560, a processor that we could really think of as a chestnut and not good for much, but this processor has proven to be a great processor. We are talking about a simple cut processor, designed for economic solutions, such as an entry-level gaming equipment and that is really selling a lot, so much so, that due to its price and its performance, it has been able to overshadow, a lot of shade to the Intel Core i3.

Currently, possibly this Pentium G4560, is the best processor on the market with respect to performance / price. This processor, with Kaby Lake architecture, like all the processors in this range, was launched on the market during CES 2017. This great processor has two cores and four processing threads, with a working frequency of 3.5GHz, without Boost mode. It also has this processor, has 3MB of L3 cache and also has simple graphics, such as the Intel HD Graphics 610, working these integrated graphics at 1150MHz and has a total TDP of 54W.

This processor is a problem for the Core i3, since we are talking about a processor that performs similarly to the Intel Core i5 2500K, in addition, the performance of this Pentium G4560 is quite similar to the Core i3 7100, for a price of almost half, since the Pentium G4560 costs around € 60, while the Core i3 7100 costs around € 110. The G4560 was staying with the entry segment, in the past, since it seems that these processors are being stopped, raising the price, to favor the Core i3 processors.
