    these are like rebadged i3-7xxx cpus, 2/4 cores, same igpu 630, just difference is UHD instead of HD

    While this may be the first official 4GHz Pentium, I haven't heard of a single Pentium EE 965 from 2006 that couldn't do 4 GHz just by ticking the multiplier up one notch.

    That one was also 2 cores 4 threads.

    Whoa, Intel...slow down there. We can only take so much excitement and innovation at once.

    seems someone forgot the anniversary pentium... or does not artificially locking your cpus to make money, not count?

    Just wait till they introduce the single core/two thread 5ghz monster.
  • Audherbagn - Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - link

    Almost any 9900k can hit 5.1ghz on all cores, and 5.1*8=40.8, so there is a total of 40.8ghz inside of that cpu. If they just reallocated all of those ghz to one hyperthreaded core, then we could have THE single core monster.

    Circa 2001 Intel was predicting 10GHz within the decade. By chance, now it's 10nm within the decade.
  • yeeeeman - Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - link

    This whole 10nm bogdown seems to be done miracles with 14nm, cause suddenly they could stop and focus more on improving what you already have and less on changing. Give them one more year and we will see 5Ghz+ stock processors.

    Nothing to do with 10nm. If AMD wasn't competing you would be still in the same old Intel.

    Why would the G5600T have UHD 610 if G5500T has UHD 630?
  • KaarlisK - Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - link

    Actually, one would expect the G5420 to also have UHD610. It would fit with the naming of the existing chips.

    And also, the cache sizes would be smaller than for the existing chips according to this table. That seems very unlikely

    I'm thinking Chipzilla screwed the pooch structurally in transistor design, density and libraries at 10nm. They 'zigged' instead if 'zagging.'

    AMD 'ate the bullet' with 28nm SHP 'Excavator' dense cell libraries. As painful as it was, this transition evolved into 'GPU' transistors as opposed to 'CPU' transistors.

    Intel missed the memo. Using CPU 'EUs' for graphic functions got old and busted.

    Now it just needs to be available for a day or two at a reasonable retail price so that it can be included in the next "budget CPU shootout" as the best option, regardless if it is available anywhere near that price then ;)

    Intel must have missed the memo that dual core should be dead at this point. Look at those TDP numbers, and ask yourself if it makes sense for a 2 core, 2 thread chip to require even 35 watts in the desktop space, let alone 65 watts. Since Intel rates the TDP on base frequencies, and not on turbo/boost, are these 28nm chips?
  • Death666Angel - Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - link

    Huh? Stop spreading BS. These low thread parts from Intel were always running way below advertised TDP levels. I remember 2c/2t Celerons and Pentiums being 54W and consuming less than 30W when stress testing.
    Also these things don't have turbo.
  • eva02langley - Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - link

    They binned this? I guess any way to make money make sense when you have volume...
  • xprojected - Wednesday, February 20, 2019 - link

    Part # 80684 suggests Coffee Lake (or refresh), like the Pentium 5400/5600. Those CPUs are 54W and have 4 MB L3, so I'd be surprise if the TDP went up while the cache went down.

    Hyperthreading on the Golds too. This is going to be great for budget builds, Digital Foundry showed that HT makes a big difference to steady frame times in dual cores.
  • zmatt - Thursday, February 21, 2019 - link

    Tom's hardware also reported on this but their headline made me double take. "Intel to take on AMD's Athlon with 4 GHz Pentium" I had a "What Year Is IT!?!?" moment.

    Anne and Ellie's lips folded into each other, their tongues twirling and comingling their husbands' silky pearl elation, their tummies and breasts merging. Their nostrils flared from deep, volatile breathing, while their lips and tongues fully engaged. https://hotgaytubeporn.com/en/category/4294967311/... Their hips gently coaxed their exploring fingers together as they closed their eyes, savoring. The coaxing morphed into soft surges and thrusts as the women gently bucked their hips upon each other's passionate fingertips. Their lips disengaged to accommodate their breathing, spilling a pearl froth between their undulating breasts.
