How bad is the G3250 and i3 4160 processors?

The Intel Pentium/core™ i3 series processor is the best choice for the current VW user assembly computer, which wants to mainstream its performance and price a less expensive computer. Of the new Pentium or core™ processors available today, G3250 and i3 4160. Recently, a netizen to the Pentium G3250 processor broken for satisfaction, but there are two questions: first, G3250 and i3 difference, the difference between the two? Another is Pentium G3250 with what the motherboard problem. In response to these two issues, small series today for everyone to do a detailed comparison.

G3250 and i3 difference how many Pentium G3250 with what motherboard?

First look at the G3250 and i3 processor parameter comparisons.

From these two Intel processors, the Pentium G3250 compared to the core i3 4160 processor, the main difference is the frequency, kernel graphics, power, thread and price.

Pentium G3250 processor

In addition to this, there are some details of the difference, such as i3 4160 support DDR3 1333/1600 dual-channel memory, and G3250 does not support. In addition, the i3 4160 supports the Intel Vt-x virtualization technology, with a higher specification of the DMI2 bus, while the Pentium G3250 does not support virtualization technology, and the bus is a lower-specification QPi.

Compared to the CPU specifications, although G3250 and i3 4160 are dual-core processors, the threads are different. i3 4160 Integrated performance more mainstream, including a higher frequency, but also support four threading and virtualization technology, performance is undoubtedly stronger, but the price is much more expensive, i3 4160 price is Pentium G3250 twice times.

So how bad is G3250 and i3? is half the price cheaper, or does it mean that performance is only the latter? For this problem, in fact, there is no accurate small series of data, from two product positioning, i3 4160 positioning in the middle end of the mainstream, and Pentium G3250 positioning in the low-end. The following directly for everyone to attach a media test run data, for reference only.

G3250 and i3 performance test score comparison

From the run test results, i3 4160 performance is about 1.3 times times the G3250, in which the CPU performance gap is not large, the average of 1.2 times times the appearance of the core graphics card is large gap, HD4400 graphics performance is the Intel HD graphics nearly 1.6 times times.

Comparison Summary:

What's the difference between G3250 and i3? From CPU performance testing, the gap is not large, the larger gap is mainly in the core graphics section, that is, if you do not intend to purchase independent graphics, directly using the CPU's built-in core graphics, then the i3 4160 experience than the Pentium G3250 outstanding many, In the case of a stand-alone video card, the G3250 processor computing power is no worse than i3 4160, but only i3 with dual-core four threading virtual technology, the overall experience will be stronger.

Pentium G3250 with what motherboard?

The Intel Pentium G3250 uses LGA 1150 slots, i3 41,601, which supports motherboards such as H81, B85, H87, H97, Z87, and Z97. As a medium-and low-end processor, the Pentium G320 is best paired with the H81 and B85 motherboards.

For entry-level users or users who do not intend to carry a stand-alone video card, the general choice of H81 motherboard, if you consider the addition of independent graphics or consider future upgrades, the best recommendation is the B85 motherboard.
