Pentium G3250T Details

Built on Intel's Haswell microarchitecture and manufactured on a 22 nm process, the Pentium G3250T is a dual-core desktop processor launched in July 2014. While it's now considered an older design by modern standards, it remains relevant for budget systems and light workloads. The processor operates at a base frequency of 2.8 GHz, with a locked multiplier that prevents overclocking, and is designed for Socket 1150 motherboards. It features a 35 W TDP, making it energy-efficient for low-power or compact builds, and includes 3 MB of L3 cache to support performance-critical operations.

The Pentium G3250T includes integrated Intel HD (Haswell) graphics, which, while not suitable for modern gaming, can handle basic multimedia and office tasks. It supports DDR3 memory in a dual-channel configuration and communicates via PCI-Express Gen 3. The chip contains 1.4 billion transistors and has a die area of 177 mm². Despite its age, it supports a range of instruction sets including SSE4.2, FMA3, and CLMUL, as well as virtualization technology (VT-x), which improves performance in virtual machine environments.

In benchmark testing, the Pentium G3250T achieves an overall score of 4,481, ranking #1305 of 2060 processors. Its single-core performance is slightly stronger, scoring 4,555 and placing it at #1247, indicating it holds up reasonably well for legacy applications and single-threaded workloads. However, its multicore score of 4,371, ranked #1531, shows a more significant performance gap compared to modern CPUs. This imbalance highlights that the G3250T is most suited for systems where single-threaded efficiency matters more than multi-core throughput.

When compared to its immediate peers, the G3250T is competitive with processors like the Celeron G1620 and Celeron G1820, though it trails behind higher-end Haswell chips such as the Core i3-3240T. Its performance is well below the top-tier CPUs listed in the 2026 rankings, where scores exceed 7,000 and even reach over 12,000 in multicore performance. Nevertheless, for basic productivity, web browsing, and media playback, the G3250T remains a viable option.

As of March 2026, the Pentium G3250T serves as a cost-effective solution for entry-level desktops and small form-factor systems. While it lacks the power of current-generation processors, its low TDP and integrated graphics make it ideal for light-duty computing where energy efficiency and affordability are priorities. It is best suited for users who do not require high performance but need a stable and reliable CPU for everyday tasks.
