Pentium G4520 Details

For users seeking an affordable entry-level desktop processor with integrated graphics, the Intel Pentium G4520 offers a practical solution built on the Skylake architecture. Launched in September 2015, this dual-core CPU is now considered an older design by modern standards, but it remains a viable option for basic computing tasks such as web browsing, office productivity, and media playback. As of March 2026, the G4520 is no longer competitive with contemporary processors, but its low price and modest performance continue to make it relevant in budget systems and second-hand markets.

The Pentium G4520 operates at a base frequency of 3.6 GHz and features a 51 W TDP, making it energy-efficient for a desktop CPU of its era. It uses the FCLGA-1151 socket and is compatible with the Skylake chipset family, which supports DDR3L-1600 and DDR4-2133 memory in a dual-channel configuration. With 3 MB of L3 cache and a 14 nm manufacturing process, the chip delivers adequate performance for light workloads, though its lack of hyper-threading limits multitasking capabilities.

Integrated into the processor is the Intel HD Graphics 530, featuring 24 execution units and a maximum frequency of 1.05 GHz. This GPU supports up to three displays and can handle basic gaming and video playback, though it is not suited for modern 3D applications. The processor supports a range of Intel technologies, including AVX, AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel Virtualization Technology, which enhance performance and security for virtualized environments.

In benchmark testing, the Pentium G4520 achieves an overall score of 5212, ranking #697 out of 2060 processors, with a single-core score of 5635 (#462) and a multicore score of 4578 (#1119). These results place it behind more modern CPUs like the Ryzen 5 2600 and Core i5-7400, but ahead of older chips such as the FX-8320 and Xeon E3-1545M v5. Its strongest performance category is single-core, where it competes with mid-tier mobile processors, while its multicore performance trails significantly behind current desktop and mobile offerings.

In conclusion, the Intel Pentium G4520 is best suited for users requiring a low-cost, energy-efficient system for basic tasks. While its age and limited core count restrict its use in modern computing environments, it remains a practical choice for secondary PCs, embedded systems, or legacy builds where integrated graphics and low power consumption are priorities.
