The Intel Pentium G620 was a desktop processor with 2 cores, launched in May 2011. It is part of the Pentium lineup, using the Sandy Bridge architecture with Socket 1155. Pentium G620 has 3 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.6 GHz. Intel is making the Pentium G620 on a 32 nm production node using 504 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Pentium G620, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Pentium G620 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel's processor supports DDR3 memory with a dual-channel interface. For communication with other components in the machine, Pentium G620 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 G620, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
