Now, with all the hype that surrounded the recent release off the rise in AP used 2200 and 2400 DRI, it's no surprise that many people, including myself, of recommend them for cheap gaming setups.

However, as of recent Intel have released a new lineup of Pentiums as well as some cheaper chipset motherboards.

So today I wanted to take a look at the cheapest in the new Pentium lineup, the gold G 5400.

Now this is a drill core CPU with four threads in the traditional Pentium fashion.

But first of all, I'd like to give a massive thank you to James Overt CCL, who actually provided the process and motherboard for today's video.

They've sent me some graphics cards in the past.

It's a massive thank you to them.

Go and check them out.

If you want a great selection of CPU graphics cards and all we rather computer components as well as desktop PCs at great prices, they've got great delivery service is Well, they didn't tell me to say that I just wanted to shout them out, and they've also got a great clearance section.

But now let's move on, take a look at the painting and see what it's capable of.

At £55 or $64 R P The Pentium Golgi 5400 sounds like attempting deal.

Eighth Jen See Be used like this would have originally required an expensive Zed 3 70 board to work.

But with the release of cheaper H 3 10 be 360 and H 3 70 chipsets, it's now possible to build a more budget orientated system based on a brand new coffee lake CPU.

The motherboard I'm using isn't a Zeus Prime h 3 10 m dash a.

Nothing special, but it has all the features you need for a basic gaming build.

This hyper threaded jewel Corgi 5400 is the cheapest in the lineup of the new Pentiums, and it may seem like a big no go due to its two physical cause.

But is it worth buying?

Well, let's find out to give you an idea of comparison.

We'll also be including results from my rise in 3 22 100 G, a process of that cost £25 more here in the UK, yet one that would be very similar in price when part of a complete budget billed as the G 5400.

I'm also using eight gigs of 2400 megahertz DDR four memory today the maximum speed supported by the G 5400 as well as a 10 70 which will not only allow the CPU to reach its full potential, but it's the absolute highest GP you.

I'd recommend pairing with a CPU like this to start off with a ransom CPU intensive benchmarks like Sina Bench AR 15 with a multicourse score.

401 on a single course score of 157 The G 5400 outperforms the 2200 g in terms of single core performance.

Yet for was behind it in the multi core test.

By quite some margin there.

Remember, The Rising has four physical cause.

It's a similar story in Geek Bench for whereby the Pentium pulls ahead in the single court test yet is over.

Taken in the multi corps test, these results should be reflective in a premiere pro render test, which we'll use as many cause as you can give it, rendering a 32nd 60 f PS 10 80 p clip completed in 45 seconds on the Pentium, which isn't too bad is the editing software itself feels fast enough to use, though the 2200 re completed the same task in just 33 seconds already, I can say that whilst the G 5400 is all right, when it comes to editing and productivity spending, the extra on the 2200 G would be beneficial to you if creating content is more your thing.

But let's bring the focus back to the Pentium as we move on to some gaming tests with Assassin's Creed.

Origins around the in game benchmark which, as expected, maxed out the CPU and meant well saw an average of 46 frames per second.

The game play was plagued by stutter, though returning 1% in 10.1% lows of 14 and four, respectively.

While the game is playable, the constant micro freezes will likely be quite annoying.

Comparing that to the rise and 3 22 100 g on while the average was a tiny bit better again, the stutter was present and gave us similar results in far Cry five.

The results were very good and the CBU didn't tend to run at a constant 100% usage unless we were on or looking out over water.

With an average of 77 f.

P s on ultra with 1% on 10.1% those of 57 45 respectively.

The G 5400 did a great job of keeping up here, and the experience was a far cry sorry from the A C origins performance.

The Pentium also outperformed the 2200 degree by little bit, though it was a negligible difference.

Like before rise of the tomb.

Raider also ran well at the highest settings, with a smooth average of 58 frames per second.

The 0.1% low meant there was some stutter, namely, during the last benchmark level, enduring dense forest gang pay.

But the overall experience was a decent one once again.

For comparison, the pension beat the rise in three by four F.

P s on average, once again leading to negligible real world gameplay differences.

When paired with a DRI T x 10 70 in C.

S.

Cho, the Pentium also did very well at the maximum settings CS goes or more CPU intensive game.

So the difference here between the G 5400 and risin was a little more significant, but again not to major, with the 0.1% lower results swinging back in the Pentiums favor.

I'm also happy to report that the Pentium stayed pretty called during testing, idling at 30 degrees and maxing out at 52 compared to the slightly warmer risin.

Just like with performance thermal differences here quite minor as well.

The G 5400 also has integrated Uhd 6 10 graphics, which are capable of running games like C.

S.

Cho A 10 80 p while maintaining close to 60 frames per second.

Of course, this is where a CPU like the rise in the 3 22 100 Drea obliterates its team Blue counterpart.

But either of these two are great choices if you plan to use a discreet graphics card, so let's draw up a conclusion.

The Pentium G 5400 is a great CPU with excellent gaming capabilities when paired with a discreet GPU.

If you have a tighter budget, it also has acceptable onboard graphics, so would be ideal for a home theater PC but can't be over clocked on the cheaper troops set motherboards.

Having said that, you pair one of these bad boys with a 10 50 or 10 50 t I.

And you've got yourself a decent 10 80 p gaming machine that will run most games out there just fine.

I plan to be able to cheaper system around these components very soon for a more realistic and affordable look at performance in mortgage eins.

So stay tuned for that.

A quick word on the 2200 re comparisons, though, despite the extra £25 here in the UK or whatever, the difference in price is where you live between the two CP use, the extra will be worth it if editing and content creation is more your thing or you will be relying on onboard graphics.

If gaming is literally all you care about and you couldn't care less about the integrated Dupee use of either on, do you want to save money wherever possible, then the G 5400 will be a great choice, and you still have that option to upgrade to an eye five or I seven later on.

It's a nice to see Intel's Pentium lineup still alive and kicking.

But I can't help but think there won't be many more generations off.

Youse guys, Thank you so much for watching.

I hope you've enjoyed this pension.
