Pentium G3460 Details

As of March 2026, the Intel Pentium G3460 remains a relic of the mid-2010s, having been released in July 2014. While it was positioned as an entry-level desktop processor at the time, its performance today places it firmly in the lower tier of modern CPU rankings. Despite its age, the G3460 continues to serve as a baseline for budget systems and light-duty computing, particularly where integrated graphics and power efficiency are priorities. Its placement in the overall score rankings—#1004 of 2060—reflects a processor that has long since been overshadowed by more advanced designs, yet still holds a niche in older platforms and low-cost builds.

The Pentium G3460 is built on Intel's Haswell microarchitecture and features a 22 nm process node, which was cutting-edge at the time of its launch. It is designed for the desktop market and uses the FCLGA1150 socket, a platform that supported several generations of Intel processors. With two cores and two threads, the processor lacks simultaneous multithreading, limiting its ability to handle modern multitasking workloads efficiently. Base clocked at 3.5 GHz, it offers a modest turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz, though the locked multiplier prevents any meaningful overclocking potential. The chip includes 3 MB of L3 cache, with L1 and L2 caches totaling 0.305 MiB, which, while sufficient for basic operations, contributes to its performance limitations in compute-heavy scenarios.

Memory support is limited to DDR3-1333/1600 and DDR3L-1333/1600 with a dual-channel configuration, capping memory bandwidth at 25.6 GB/s. The processor supports up to 32 GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic desktop use but restrictive compared to modern standards. Its 53 W TDP provides a balance between power consumption and thermal output, making it suitable for compact systems and energy-conscious builds. The integrated Intel HD (Haswell) graphics solution operates at 350 MHz base frequency and can boost to 1.1 GHz, supporting up to three displays and enabling basic multimedia playback and light gaming.

In benchmark testing, the Pentium G3460 achieves a multicore score of 4,459, placing it at #1302 of 2060, and a single-core score of 5,093, ranking #885 of 2060. The overall score of 4,839 positions it at #1004, indicating that while it performs decently in single-threaded tasks, its multi-core performance lags significantly behind modern processors. Notably, it outperforms several low-end and mobile CPUs, such as the Core i5-5300U and Core i7-4700MQ, but trails behind most current-generation offerings. Its strength lies in single-threaded performance, where it ranks relatively high compared to older dual-core processors, though it is outpaced by nearly every modern CPU in both single and multi-core tests.

The Pentium G3460 supports a range of Intel technologies, including AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel vPro, which enhance security and data processing capabilities. It also supports virtualization technologies like VT-x and VT-d, making it suitable for basic virtual machine environments. However, its lack of Hyper-Threading and limited cache size restrict its utility in demanding applications such as video editing, 3D rendering, or gaming. While it remains a viable option for legacy systems, light office use, or as a replacement in older desktops, it is no longer competitive in performance-critical environments. For users seeking more power, even a modern low-end processor would offer significantly better performance and efficiency.
