Speed in games
Performance in games and similar applications, according to our tests.
The performance of 4 cores, if any, and performance per core has the greatest impact on the result, since most games do not fully use more than 4 cores.
The speed of caches and working with RAM is also important.
Speed in office use
Performance in everyday work such as browsers and office applications.
The performance of 1 core has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications use only one, ignoring the rest.
Similarly, many professional applications such as various CAD programs ignore multi-threaded performance.
Speed in heavy applications
Performance in resource-intensive tasks loading a maximum of 8 cores.
The performance of all cores and their number has the greatest impact on the result, since most of these applications willingly use all the cores and increase the speed accordingly.
At the same time, certain periods of work can be demanding on the performance of one or two cores, for example, applying filters in the editor.
Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems with and without overclocking. Thus, you see the average values corresponding to the processor.

Different tasks require different CPU strengths. A system with few fast cores and low memory latency will be fine for the vast majority of games, but will be inferior to a system with a lot of slow cores in a rendering scenario.
We believe that a minimum of 4/4 (4 physical cores and 4 threads) processor is suitable for a budget gaming PC. At the same time, some games can load it at 100%, slow down and freeze, and performing any tasks in the background will lead to a drop in FPS.
Ideally, the budget shopper should aim for a minimum of 4/8 and 6/6. A gamer with a big budget can choose between 6/12, 8/8 and 8/16. Processors with 10 and 12 cores can perform well in games with high frequency and fast memory, but are overkill for such tasks. Also, buying for the future is a dubious undertaking, since in a few years many slow cores may not provide sufficient gaming performance.
When choosing a processor for your work, consider how many cores your programs use. For example, photo and video editors can use 1-2 cores when working with filtering, and rendering or converting in the same editors already uses all threads.
Data obtained from tests by users who tested their systems both with overclocking (maximum value in the table) and without (minimum).
A typical result is shown in the middle, the more filled in the color bar, the better the average result among all tested systems.
Benchmarks
Benchmarks were run on stock hardware, that is, without overclocking and with factory settings. Therefore, on overclocked systems, the points can noticeably differ upwards. Also, small performance changes may be due to the BIOS version.

Methodology for testing computer systems of the 2017 model
Many readers rightly consider that the main drawback of most of our processor reviews is that only new items are tested — it is rarely possible to see retrospective materials, such as testing old systems with modern software.
However, this is not at all due to the inherent harmfulness of the workers of the knife and the ax of of the pen, but due to the fact that these very “old systems” are usually either still in use (and it is difficult to remove them from circulation) or have already been disposed of.
But sometimes something can be done — this is how, for example, our testing of top models of Intel Core i7 processors for mass platforms of the company appeared, where eight processors of the mentioned class participated, the oldest of which was designed for the 2009 platform. The goal was simple and practical: to see what the “tops” of the platforms could do.
And today we will test five more processors, some of which are also very old, but all of them were not performance record holders even «in life». This time there is no global goal — just want to see how it works and compares with newer Intel products.

The first two processors are designed for LGA1155 — very old by today’s standards, since it appeared back in 2011. At the same time, the Core i3-2125 of all those who took part in the testing was also the most expensive (“in life”, of course). And it also had the most powerful graphics core in those years — if limited only to Intel offers. True, soon it will literally turned into a pumpkin : in particular, OpenCL code can only be executed on processor cores, which was “fixed” only in Ivy Bridge.
And in general, HD Graphics of the second generation (i.e. 2000, 3000 and similar to the first GPU in Pentium / Celeron) are formally incompatible with Windows 10. In fact, with the driver for the «third» it is quite functional — within the limits of its abilities, of course. And there are much more of them in the Pentium G2130 — even though it is a Pentium, not a Core. Here, the processor cores are «quantitatively» weaker, since Hyper-Threading is not supported — which was true for all Pentiums for many years.

Including — for models under LGA1150.
In this case, we simply took the two fastest models in our lines, without the Core i3. Moreover, the i3-4170 has already been tested with both discrete and integrated graphics, so everything is clear with it. But with the Pentium — it was not all.

| RAM | 2×DDR4-2133 / 2×DDR3-1600 |
| TDP, W | 51 |
| GPU | HD Graphics 510 |
In addition, we decided to test the Celeron G3900 — this is the slowest processor for the «first version» LGA1151.
It’s also not new anymore — for about the same money, Intel has been shipping processors with a higher clock speed for a long time. But determining the «bottom level» of the platform is no less useful than evaluating its «gaping peaks», and we have not previously done this according to the current version of the methodology.

Since it was decided to confine ourselves to integrated graphics (all the same, all solutions have been «non-gaming» for a long time), the results for comparison had to be selected from those as well.
That’s why we took the Pentium G4560 — a sort of reasonable budget middling, and still quite modern. Pentium G4500T is the slowest (thanks to the «T» index) of the previously tested LGA1151 processors. And we also have the results of the Celeron J3455 — albeit with 8 GB of memory, as well as a slightly different SSD, but this can hardly help or hinder the modern reincarnation of Atom. We think it’s useful to compare it with a six-year-old Pentium.
Test methodology
The methodology is described in detail in a separate article. Here we briefly recall that it is based on the following four pillars:
- iXBT.com performance measurement method based on real applications of the 2017 sample
- How to Monitor Power, Temperature, and Processor Load During Testing
- 2017 Game Performance Measurement Methodology
Processor Power Test Methodology
Detailed results for all tests are available as a complete results spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel 97-2003 format).
Directly in the articles, we use already processed data. This is especially true for application tests, where everything is normalized relative to the reference system (AMD FX-8350 with 16 GB of memory, GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card and Corsair Force LE 960 GB SSD) and grouped by computer application areas.
But we didn’t use game tests today, because we believe that users who are really interested in such scenarios will not try to continue to exploit the six-year-old Pentium. However, with some inexpensive discrete video card of the same time — maybe. But also for games of the same times , and not more or less modern. Therefore, as the lowest common denominator, we restrict ourselves to the integrated video core. Different, but that makes it more interesting.
iXBT Application Benchmark 2017
Note that, despite the lack of Hyper-Threading support, the Pentium G3470 managed to outperform the Core i3-2125 as well — that’s what architecture optimizations and clock speed growth did.
Another interesting result: approximate parity of Pentium G2130 (one of the fastest Pentiums for LGA1155), Celeron G3900 (the slowest processor for LGA1151, not related to the energy efficient series) and … Celeron J3455. Despite the fact that the latter is practically Atom. But quad-core, of course, which in some scenarios matters. On the other hand, if they were relevant for users of old Pentiums, they would have been changed to something long ago. And if they do not change, then enough. Although from the point of view of modernity, this is a very low level. Yes, and a couple of years ago — at best, a junior desktop Celeron.
In this case, the weakness of Atom is visible, due to which J3455 is actually out of the game. But optimization for modern architectures allows the Pentium G4500T to work a little slower than the G3260 with a higher clock frequency. And the Core i3-2125 is not far from the G4500T. And the Celeron G3900 noticeably outperforms the Pentium G2130. Conclusion? In the budget segment, performance may not be as important to buyers as price, but it still grows naturally.
Sometimes the transition of quantity into quality occurs — for sure in five years.
The state of affairs is more similar to the first group — except that the Celeron J3455 does not fully compete with real desktop processors. But the Celeron G3900 can even compete with the old Pentiums. And the energy-efficient G4500T with conventional Pentiums too — even less old ones.
Let’s remember one of the Photoshop filters and understand why the Core i3-2125 is still so good here. And if we recall the logic of the work of the other two programs, then the good result of Celeron J3455 can be easily explained. However, against the background of the performance of the Pentium G4560, all this has no comparison. As in previous cases. Yes, and in the next too.
Because the number of threads is important here (the main thing is that it is not recruited by «atomic» cores) and the frequency. The latter allowed the best Pentium for the LGA1150 to reach the level of the Core i3 of the 2011 sample — but that’s all.
The leap in 2017 (in the form of endowing desktop Pentiums with Hyper-Threading support a couple of years after mobile ones) is more impressive.
The downside of older platforms is the low supported RAM frequencies. It’s fixable on motherboards with «overclocker» chipsets, of course, but buying them in tandem with Core i3 (not to mention Pentium)… No, of course, there is such a thing, since it’s not forbidden by law — but it’s not forbidden in vain! 🙂 The result, in general, is appropriate. And it is clearly seen that in some scenarios even the most modern Atom “can” compared to very old, but desktop processors: no matter how you rename them, sometimes they can’t do anything.
As well as in tasks of this kind — for the processors in question, not targeted, but well optimized for modern microarchitectures. And in such conditions, the old Core i3 do not shine not only against the background of more or less modern Pentiums, but the new Celeron may turn out to be no worse.
Not even too new: this family has also grown a little in a couple of years since the G3900.
What practical conclusion can be drawn from the resulting diagram? In three or four years (and this is just a typical estimated lifespan of a computer — if you do not save too much, but do not rush to spend money), there is a certain transition from quantity to quality: when the new Pentiums become equivalent in performance to the old Core i3, and to compete with old Core i3 already enough and Celeron. And in the higher classes, similar processes are taking place — as we have repeatedly seen. Sometimes, however, revolutions happen — and such a devaluation of trademarks is observed at once. We have seen this twice in the last 10 years. But usually evolution is enough — even if you do not change the number of cores, supported computation threads, and do not increase the frequencies too rapidly. Since the latter is usually limited by some factors.
Energy consumption and energy efficiency
Such as energy consumption, for example.
And it is immediately clear that in terms of performance, the old Core i3 can still somehow compete with more modern processors, albeit of a lower class, but it “eats” an indecently lot along with the board and memory. And at the other end, the same “atoms” — when the entire board at maximum load (we did not carry out complex measurements with this system at one time, since in its case almost any load is “maximum”) requires less energy than any “desktop” the assembly is at least in a slightly different state from the sleeping state. The most modern of the studied platforms, however, does not strike the imagination — but here, as we remember, the board itself is not very economical, unlike the one used for processors under LGA1150. So for greater correctness, it is worth comparing the processors themselves, since these two platforms allow this (unlike LGA1155).
That’s how everything falls into place. Pentium for LGA1150 can, of course, also be fully attributed to the T-class (with a TDP of no more than 35 W), but against the background of newer solutions, this cannot be considered an achievement.
Although it’s still clear that surrogate platforms have the right to life as desktop ones — even the best Celeron G3900 on this diagram consumes more energy by itself than Celeron J3455 together with with board and memory. Under load more — but on average a little less.
«Energy efficiency» corresponding. And, by the way, it correlates well with the Core i7 performance of the same families. Indeed: i7-2700K 1.01 — i3-2125 1.03; i7-3770K 1.27 — Pentium G2130 1.24; i7-4790K 1.38 — Pentium G3470 1.38. There will be no exact match, if only because of the use of a discrete video card in Core i7 systems, and the lack of support for HT in the Pentium spoils the performance for them. But more than comparable. So we began to “like” this indicator even more — it really characterizes the platform well. What is at least interesting theoretically — in practice, you won’t save much energy from upgrading an old system of this class. But if you need an additional argument «for» — here it is, please.
Total
Let’s repeat: this test had no global goals — it was just interesting to see how old inexpensive processors cope with modern software. It turned out that very often — no better than modern cheap ones (and not just «cheap»), as expected. From this, of course, it does not follow that everyone will immediately run to change them to more productive and economical ones: where it was needed, they have already changed, and where they still use it, it means that is enough . In the end, arguments “for” are usually sought if they want to upgrade, and if they don’t want to, an ordinary user (not to mention organizations) does exactly the opposite: he looks for reasons not to buy anything 🙂 And this can also be justified: since the money was spent, then let them continue to work until they completely “lock in”. Or until the old system fails — for example, the system board burns out. In this case, as can be seen from the test results, trying to look for a new or used board for the old socket is not very justified.
