The Intel Pentium G860T is a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in June 2012. It is part of the Pentium lineup, using the Sandy Bridge architecture with Socket 1155. Pentium G860T has 3 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.6 GHz. Intel is making the Pentium G860T on a 32 nm production node using 504 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Pentium G860T, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 35 W, the Pentium G860T consumes only little energy. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the machine, Pentium G860T uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Intel HD (Sandy Bridge) integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Pentium G860T, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
