Intel has introduced its new components based on its new Sandy Bridge architecture for its Pentium line of microprocessors, and from the web Inpai from China comes a review as one of the most economical among the newcomers: the Intel Pentium G620.

The G620 is an Intel Pentium dual-core chip based on the Sandy Bridge architecture, operates at a frequency of 2.6GHz, 3MB L3 cache has integrated graphics Intel Graphics HD, and a TDP of 65W, although unlike the line Intel Core ix Series, it lacks some key technologies present in its older brothers like Quick Sync, Turbo Boost, or ClearVideo HD, plus the HD IGP Graphics performance is much lower than the 3000 and 2000 HD Graphics present in the Core ix (with the exception of i3 as it does not have Turbo Boost). These new G Series Pentium based in Sandy Bridge are not intended to compete against his older brothers, they provide an option that aims to attract users of the now "old" Pentium LGA G 1156. Returning to the Pentium G620, its price puts it in direct competition against the Pentium G6950.

In this Inpai review the G6950 faces the old Pentium (dual core 2.8GHz) against the new Pentium G620 (2.6GHz), also they test the efficiency of clock tests including a 2.6GHz Pentium underclocked G6950. Without further ado here are some of your test results:

 
Conclusions

The G620 Pentium despite having a lower frequency than the Pentium G6950 (200MHz less) on average it shows superior performance and this difference is accentuated at the same frequency. It should be mentioned that there is an area where the old Pentium G6950 completely surpasses the new Pentium G620 and this is the subject of overclocking, due to known generator clock limitations integrated into the Sandy Bridge chips non-K Series.
