Intel® Pentium® G4600

The Intel Pentium G4600 is a desktop processor with 2 cores and 4 threads, built on the Kaby Lake architecture. It launched in Jan 2017. A 3-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.8 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1151 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (16 lanes). Rated TDP is 51 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Pentium G4600 scores 2,136 in single-core performance and 3,613 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 2,778 for overall performance, 5,339 for productivity performance, 5,832 for creator performance, 3,365 for engineering performance and 7,311 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,807 per core, 903 per thread and 71 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 389. Its performance index is 34, so its overall performance is 66% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Pentium G4600 scores 12,377 in integer math, 7,737 in floating-point math, 54,979 in compression, 1,363 in cryptography, 317 in physics simulation, 1,570 in vector SIMD, 14 in the prime sieve and 7,010 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 79% below in integer math, 83% below in floating-point math, 76% below in compression, 88% below in cryptography, 71% below in physics simulation, 90% below in vector SIMD, 79% below in the prime sieve and 69% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Pentium G4600 has 2 physical cores and runs 4 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.60 GHz.
