Intel Outs Six New Haswell-based Entry Level Processors
Intel rolled out six new entry-level socket LGA1150 dual-core processors, based on the "Haswell" micro-architecture. These include four-each under the Pentium and Core i3 brands. Among the Pentium parts are the G3250 (3.20 GHz clocks, 1.10 GHz iGPU, 3 MB L3, 53W TDP, 2c/2t); Pentium G3250T (2.80 GHz clocks, 1.10 GHz iGPU, 3 MB L3, 35W TDP, 2c/2t); Pentium G3450T (2.90 GHz clocks, 1.10 GHz iGPU, 3 MB L3, 35W TDP, 2c/2t); and Pentium G3460 (3.50 GHz clocks, 1.10 GHz iGPU, 3 MB L3, 53W TDP, 2c/2t).
The HyperThreading-enabled Core i3 parts include the Core i3-4160 (3.60 GHz clocks, 1.15 GHz iGPU, 3 MB L3, 54W TDP, 2c/4t); Core i3-4160T (3.10 GHz clocks, 1.15 GHz iGPU, 3 MB L3, 35W TDP, 2c/4t); Core i3-4360T (3.20 GHz clocks, 1.15 GHz iGPU, 4 MB L3, 34W TDP, 2c/4t); and the Core i3-4370 (3.80 GHz clocks, 1.15 GHz iGPU, 4 MB L3, 54W TDP, 2c/4t), which is the fastest dual-core CPU money can buy.

It is my belief that this strategy would actually IMPROVE Intel's bottom line as i3 K chip would be cheaper to manufacture than a locked i5 (either by using smaller two-core die or by salvaging partially defective quad cores that couldn't be sold as i5/i7), meaning that for every locked i5 sale they lose to an unlocked i3 at the same price point, they'd be making MORE profit on that sale.
8 not 6
It's physically highly unlikely that same piece of silicon that's unstable at stock frequencies in some parts, to have remaining functional parts that overclock well.
This is how physical reason becomes monetary: essentially to create that product from current yield they would have to sell some of their non-K i5 cpus as a i3-K.
G3460 = $86 3.5Ghz
22$ for 300 Mhz ??? and in the entry level cpu category, i see why intel is keen on firing there marketing and sales employees every now and then.
So now running Desktop PC for hours will be convinient without huge bills. ;) :toast:
