Pentium G4500 Details

For users seeking a budget-friendly desktop processor with integrated graphics and reliable performance for everyday tasks, the Intel Pentium G4500 offers a practical solution. Launched in September 2015 as part of Intel’s Skylake lineup, this CPU is built on a 14 nm process and designed for the LGA-1151 socket, making it compatible with mainstream motherboards from that era. While it is now considered a legacy device, the G4500 still holds relevance for basic computing, office work, and light multimedia use, especially in systems where discrete graphics are not required.

The Pentium G4500 features two cores and two threads, operating at a base frequency of 3.5 GHz with a locked multiplier, which limits overclocking potential. It includes 3 MB of L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR3L-1600 and DDR4-2133 memory, achieving a maximum memory bandwidth of 34.1 GB/s. Despite its modest core count, the processor delivers solid single-core performance thanks to the efficient Skylake architecture. The TDP of 51 W ensures reasonable power efficiency, allowing it to run cool and quietly under typical workloads.

Integrated into the G4500 is the Intel HD Graphics 530, which provides decent visual performance for HD video playback and casual gaming. It supports up to three displays and includes 24 execution units, capable of reaching a max frequency of 1.05 GHz in burst mode. While not suited for modern AAA gaming, the GPU enables smooth operation for web browsing, streaming, and older titles. The processor also supports a range of Intel technologies, including AES-NI, AVX2, and virtualization extensions (VT-x, VT-d), enhancing security and performance for virtual machines and encryption tasks.

In benchmark testing, the Pentium G4500 achieves an overall score of 5066, ranking #818 of 2060 processors, with a single-core score of 5363 (#677 of 2060) and a multicore score of 4620 (#1063 of 2060). These results place it behind more modern CPUs like the Core i3-2375M and Core i5-2500, but ahead of some older AMD offerings such as the FX-6120. The performance gap between single-core and multicore scores highlights its strength in tasks that benefit from high clock speeds rather than parallel processing.

As of March 2026, the Intel Pentium G4500 remains a viable option for entry-level desktops, retro builds, or second-hand systems. While it falls far behind current-generation processors in both raw performance and feature set, its affordability, compatibility, and integrated graphics make it suitable for users who prioritize cost-effectiveness over cutting-edge capabilities. It is best suited for basic productivity, media consumption, and light office applications, but not for demanding workloads like video editing or gaming.
