#INTEL PENTIUM G4560 PC#

If you're trying to build a sub-$500 budget gaming system, which is the sort of PC where the G4560 makes sense, you're likely going to stick with a GTX 1060 or slower graphics card. No one (sane, which I'm not) is going to use a GTX 1080 with the likes of the G4560. This is all looking past the elephant in the room, however, which I've already mentioned above. Of course that's at nearly four times the price, but there's still a clear difference. Everything else shows double-digit percentage increases with the Core i5 part, with an average improvement in gaming performance of 30 percent. Only two games-The Division and The Witcher 3-don't show much of a difference. If the comparison is between something like the i5-7600K and the G4560, the gap is far greater. And Rise of the Tomb Raider shows an eight percent lead. The Witcher 3, which is effectively CPU limited with all the Intel chips at our maximum quality test settings (including HairWorks and HBAO+), still gives the G4560 an 11 percent lead. Fallout 4 is the best showing for the G4560, beating the FX-8370 by nearly 20 percent. Battlefield 1 gives the FX-8370 a seven percent lead, and Shadow Warrior 2 has a nine percent lead, but everything else is either a negligible difference of less than four percent, or an outright with for the G4560. Hitman is the obvious one, scaling extremely well with the extra CPU cores and delivering 42 percent higher performance. There are really only three games that favor (by more than five percent) AMD's FX-8370.

Even Ashes of the Singularity, a game known for beating up CPUs, has the G4560 basically tied with the FX-8370.

That's not to say the FX-8370 is slower, but half of the cores are typically sitting idle while gaming. Overall, even with two physical cores and two virtual cores compared to the FX-8370's eight physical cores, the two CPUs deliver very similar gaming performance. I mentioned how games often track more closely with single-threaded CPU performance than heavily-threaded tests, and that's precisely what we see in the gaming charts. More on this in a moment first, let's look at how one of Intel's least expensive CPUs does with Nvidia's top gaming GPU. No one should be looking to pair a $600 graphics card with a $65 CPU, but I did exactly that for the gaming benchmarks. I use a standardized set of hardware to avoid influencing performance with other factors, like DDR4 memory speeds, graphics card, or SSD performance. You can see the same Kaby Lake testbed I've used elsewhere in the above boxout, which is complete overkill for the G4560. Games tend to track much more closely with single-threaded performance, even when they benefit from multiple cores, which is why I really wanted to see what the G4560 could do in games. But for single-threaded performance, even the lowly G4560 holds nearly a 25 percent lead over AMD's various Bulldozer-derived parts.

It would only be about 20 percent faster if it weren't for the heavy use of AVX instructions.

There are also a few instances where the lack of AVX support proves damning, like y-cruncher where the i3-7350K is three times faster. In overall CPU performance, AMD wins by about 10 percent, and in individual tests the gap is even larger.
