Cons

Only two physical cores
Integrated graphics are very weak
No overclocking support at all

Verdict

Our verdict on the Pentium Gold G6505T

A low-power Comet Lake dual-core chip for basic office PCs, held back by its outdated integrated graphics and thread count.

Get it if you need a cheap, low-power office PC for basic web browsing and document editing. Skip it if you plan to game, edit video, or run anything that needs more than two cores.
