Intel Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductor circuits. Its success and innovation is reflected in its new generation of CPU architecture – Intel Haswell.
The fourth generation of Core processors represents an evolutionary step named Tock. Unlike Tick (Ivy Bridge), it doesn't bring only minor changes along with enhancements of the production process, but significant innovations to the entire core design. The processor gets the Haswell New Instruction set, and the Iris chip ushers in a new era of GPUs.
Haswell relies on revolutionary 3D transistors and utilises the highly advanced 22nm production technology. While the current technology has its limits, using 3D transistors can lead to a more than 10% boost in performance. The Advanced Power Saving mode ensures significantly lower power consumption and environmentally friendly operation.
The Intel Pentium G3450 Dual-Core is clocked at 3.4 GHz and uses the new 1150 socket. The processor is perfectly complemented by Intel HD Graphics with an increased frequency of 1100 MHz. Thanks to the performance increase of up to 100%, it leaves older chips far behind.
Intel Pentium easily handles all office applications, HD movies, or music and photo editing. Compared with higher-tier models, it does not offer multi-threaded processing (Hyper-Threading) or dynamic core overclocking (Turbo Boost), but still provides sufficiently good performance for casual gaming.
