They said they did it to improve clarity.

[@spaghettilocomotive]

Interestingly enough, it's an X337R batch, notoriously known for being the top of the top silicon of the 14900K/KF. Makes you wonder what could have happened during manufacturing to end up as this e-waste with 2c4t.. I wish it could be overclocked in a board with external clockgen like the 12th could, make it zoom to the best of its abilities. 😂

[@catsspat]

Past: "We can't trademark a number, like 486 and 586? We'll have to come up with a name, like... Pentium!" Present: "We should name our new processor with just a number!"

[@mruczyslaw50]

The 300 is like a fake name used in a movie rather than something real

[@xenolya]

i could see this being pretty good for like a media pc or something that needs to run cool and quiet and doesn't need a whole lot of power

[@ANN1H1LATE89]

Another great vid Steve! IMO if Intel insists on keeping on making low level stuff like this, I think they should make their weakest CPU's be 4c/4t at least even if there is no turbo on the chip. Specially these Pentiums or numerically named new chips they push out on us. For the price they sell it at it would only make sense to manufacture at least a 4c chip. They are at this stage just killing their own market value with low budget level products

[@williamtopping]

You say 2 core / 4 thread don't have a place in 2024. They absolutely do. Especially for a DIY NAS / Torrent / Plex box.... Might need more if you're transcoding to several TV's. But most have direct play these days... But other than that, my 7th Gen i3 (most likely worse than this!!) is still running our home NAS nice and decent. You choose the right tool for the right job.

[@VerbenaIDK]

i'd wait a few generations before considering it, maybe when 16th gen is out and i need an efficient NAS

[@Geardos1]

please compare with 4 core n100 (e cores) if possible

[@Trick-Framed]

I'd love to see what it's iGPU can do.

[@gdjaybee742]

All I want is a intel/Ryzen laptop based CPU ala Ryzen 5 5500u/intel i7 6600u 45w or less version in a desktop socket. Imagine an ultra low power consumption CPU with 12/16 threads and capable of driving 4060 to 4070 and below video cards. All I want this thing to do is max settings 1080 and 60fps vsync on or more(most tvs are 60hz), and do everything else decently.

[@RandomGaminginHD]

That would be awesome

[@seritools]

just get an APU and set the power limit, should be reasonably close

[@olnnn]

Aren't the new AMD AM5 APUS basically just laptop APUs with higher power limits on a desktop socket?

[@spencerwaters5962]

You should look at the minisforum motherboards

[@gdjaybee742]

@@spencerwaters5962 What I am proposing really is a minisforum in a normal ATX/MicroATX form factor, with the option to use full PCI Express x16 slot for full length video cards. With the option to overvolt the CPU to get more performance to run your video card. Essentially, you don't have to use a USBc external video card.

[@otacon5648]

YES!! I’ve been waiting for someone to see how well this sort of super low end hardware copes with gaming at 4K. I paired an i5 11400f with a 3080Ti and it’s a perfect match for 4K gaming at high fps.

[@Trick-Framed]

Based on the frametimes in some of those games, it occurred to me that this chip, paired with a 4080-4090, would play 4K pretty well so long as the game engine wasn't using more than 2 cores and the Windows install was barebones.

[@Ethan7_7]

I had a E5700 I think. Dual core madness, the upgrade to the i3 8100 was a big one back then. Now im on a 12400F

I am currently crying so hard right now This is seriously the most beautiful, well put together story ever. I can't believe how magical it was 1:12. That part truly made me shed a tear. And especially at 6:34 that part was just so truly heart touching words can not describe the series of emotions I felt. I absolutely loved the climax it had insanely excellent detail. Oh and we can't forget the conclusion. The conclusion was the greatest and saddest conclusion I have ever seen better than any of the books I have read. Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can't be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. It beautifully encapsulates the human struggle to its basics; suffering, pleasure, faith, despair. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping. and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I've come across in my life, and I'm definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply, this is an absolute masterpiece, I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the bacon go whirly swirly in a circle countless times, it absolutely moved my soul, and I don't think I can ever be the same, this bacon has changed my entire mental state, I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. I have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. I will move on, gotta move on, as the song says, the bacon is so inspirational, it shares it vast wisdom with all of us, and we are all so lucky that it would bestow it's great words with us. we are all children on bacon, hail bacon. hail bacon. The spinning bacon, rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a bacon do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the bacon spins, showing its lightly salt covered tan skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the bacon scraping the dark, smooth velvet floor. The flavor, music and everything can be heard, tasted, seen and felt from a screen. You can really hear the breaths between the music artist, empathizing her love for this rotating bacon. Truly what I call modern art. This was the most legendary performance by any piece of bacon I have ever watched. The acting was top tier and very life changing. This is one of the greatest work from a piece of bacon I have ever seen especially on 57:42 I am currently crying so hard right now.

Not even mentioning the memories, this makes me feel like an infant again, just laying my eyes on this beautiful masterpiece gives me all the good feelings in life. I also understand what happiness is again from this. Not even to mention the most incredible part that is 2:10, Bacon spinning has changed my life for the better.

[@ej_tech]

I expect this chip to be installed in mass in those ultra cheap home desktop PCs.

[@lazarorocha8893]

For this price, not really. G7400 is old and still a bad value, this one will probably be the same.

[@MikeTechnology]

when you said that 2 core don't have any place in 2024 well back in 2013 i pick up a g645 along with a gtx650 1gb was good but at that time i wanted to play far cry 4 and after i have realized that it need a 4 core cpu was quite odd but mods come along and then thing was good but yes 2 core for 2024 even for light editting is quite a chalenge and a game of patience experience

[@SuprousOxide]

Good, I remember my first sexy brand new Pentium when it was the top of the line. Was really sad seeing the brand used for low end processors

[@raute2687]

how does this compare to the (much older) Athlon 2x0 GEs? Those also only have two cores and 4 threads

[@AIt-Girl]

i wonder the same thing 🤔

[@claritoresdiano1021]

tbh 2x0 GEs limited by PCI-e gen 3.0 and s 1st Gen Zen architecture btw. On the Intel side more L1,L2, and L3 cache and memory bandwith can go up to 76.8GB/s on default (no OC). Six years old.

[@TechflashYT]

Daily driving an i3-12100f, and it's certainly capable, but I am surprised the 300 is even usable.

[@sisqobmx]

Why? Intel have very fast single core speeds. Thats why your 4c/8t processor is able to compete on a 9900k’s level.

[@nicholasmoffett4327]

So what *would* the benefit be of getting this? I assume the power efficiency?

[@gtijason7853]

G7400 is still king imo because you can overclock them. Mine runs 5400Mhz at 1.350v all day and for benchmarking can do 5550Mhz at 1.4v

[@moiz04]

You didnt mention anything about wattage. During rdr2 it was using 31watts iguess in your benchmark and i think thats impressive

[@RuruFIN]

At least InHell gives a copper-core coolers once again with entry level CPUs after a LONG break, that's a nice thing.

[@Holycurative9610]

My old laptop has a 6gb 1060 and an i5-6300hq and it games just fine even with some of today's games. I use it mainly for Xbox cloud gaming and a bit of light gaming whilst I use my 3070/i9 laptop for the AAA gaming 4k experience.

[@muratbasc8302]

If it slows down its frequency under no load, it would be nice to think it as a diy nas build processor.

[@tubetube7025]

I wonder what a gtx 970 can do at lower resolutions like 720p or lower on modern games

[@DaystromDataConcepts]

I wonder if the AMD 4600G with superior IGPU and six cores, 12 threads would be a much better buy as it's the same price.

[@satsumagt5284]

Definitely is

[@gabrielv.4358]

No doubt

[@asharigada4956]

I'm curious to how it would compare to an i3 7100. As both have 2 Cores, 4 threads, and run at 3.9GHz

[@aaz1992]

The IPC of the 300 would make it much faster

[@hamzamohammad3287]

the last time I used a dual core for my main rig was an i3 7100 with a RX 460 4gb back in 2019 now Ive got a Ryzen 5 5600 and a 4070.

[@aaz1992]

Big gains

[@cydev8450]

mine is 5600x and 4070 so were on the same league, what a great combo

[@samallamby-thompson]

Use it for your editing workstation

[@RandomGaminginHD]

It would still be rendering this video now haha

[@bmanrockwell2174]

Lol!

[@eni3892]

0:15 highlight of the video.

[@sylvania4558]

its interesting CPU tbh, because its actually use the same arch as normal Intel Core from 13th gen, the P-Core specificly.. unlike all previous Pentium that use their own thing (which get turned into E-Core nowaday and said "pentium" do exist as 4 e-core part). but yea, heavily recommended to just pick any normal 4/6 core CPU than any of these pentium for gaming in 2024.

[@CollapseWatch]

Flashbacks to my old Pentium G3258 with my GTX 950 just about hitting 1080p in 2016 lol

[@FintanMoloney]

It seems the Pentium is over now. The i3 seems to blow it out of the water and you can get the i3 cheap second hand. This was an interesting video.
