The Intel Pentium G4560 is a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in January 2017. It is part of the Pentium lineup, using the Kaby Lake architecture with Socket 1151. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 4 threads. Pentium G4560 has 3 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.5 GHz. Intel is building the Pentium G4560 on a 14 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Pentium G4560, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 51 W, the Pentium G4560 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 2400 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. For communication with other components in the machine, Pentium G4560 uses a PCI-Express Gen 3 connection. This processor features the Intel HD 610 integrated graphics solution.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Pentium G4560, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
