Pentium G3450 Details

Ranked #993 in single-core performance and #1100 overall among 2060 processors, the Intel Pentium G3450 delivers a surprising performance for a budget-oriented desktop CPU launched in 2014. Despite its age, the processor holds its own in single-threaded workloads, scoring 4922 in the Singlecore Score benchmark—just behind high-end mobile and desktop CPUs like the Core i7-3820 and Ryzen 5 2500U. This performance is particularly notable given the G3450’s modest 2.8 GHz turbo frequency and 53 W TDP, making it a viable option for light productivity tasks and general computing in older systems.

The Pentium G3450 is built on Intel’s Haswell microarchitecture, manufactured on a 22 nm process with 1.4 billion transistors. It features two physical cores with no simultaneous multithreading, operating at a base frequency of 3.4 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 2.8 GHz. While the locked multiplier limits overclocking potential, the processor efficiently handles integrated graphics and basic multimedia workloads with its Intel HD Graphics (Haswell) GPU, which runs at 350 MHz and can boost up to 1.1 GHz. The GPU supports up to three displays and shares a maximum of 1.7 GB of system memory as dedicated video memory.

In terms of memory, the G3450 supports dual-channel DDR3-1333/1600 and DDR3L-1333/1600 at 1.5V, with a maximum capacity of 32 GB and a bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. It connects via the FCLGA1150 socket and includes PCIe 3.0 support, enabling modern expansion capabilities despite its outdated platform. The processor also supports a wide range of Intel technologies, including AVX2, AES-NI, and virtualization extensions such as VT-x and VT-d, making it suitable for light virtualization and encryption workloads.

Multicore performance reflects the processor’s dual-core design, with a score of 4378 placing it at #1509 in the multicore ranking. While it trails behind modern quad-core and higher processors, it competes closely with older dual-core CPUs like the Celeron G1630 and Athlon II X4 620. The overall score of 4704 positions the G3450 in the mid-tier of older desktop processors, offering balanced performance for everyday use. As of March 2026, the Pentium G3450 remains relevant for budget builds, retro computing, or systems where integrated graphics and low power consumption are prioritized over raw performance.

Despite being a nearly decade-old design, the G3450 continues to serve as a reliable entry-level processor for basic office applications, web browsing, and light multimedia tasks. Its efficient power draw and compatibility with older motherboards make it a practical choice for upgrading or maintaining legacy systems. While it cannot compete with modern high-end CPUs, its consistent single-core performance ensures it remains a dependable option in the low-end market segment.
