Pros

- No hyper-threading on other Pentiums
Verdict
Our verdict on the Pentium G4620
A dual-core CPU with hyperthreading and integrated graphics, notable for being the fastest Pentium ever made.
Get it if you need a dirt-cheap office PC or home server that runs cool and quiet on a basic motherboard. Skip it if you plan to game or multitask—modern chips are way faster for the same money.
Buy it if…
- You want a cheap office PC for web and documents.
- You need a basic home server that sips power.
- You are building a low-cost retro gaming machine.
