  • The Intel 300 is the first in the new lineup of Celeron and Pentium successors. Today we're seeing what, if anything, it can do. We'll also be comparing it to the last desktop Pentium, the G7400, as well as one of the best budget choices right now, the i3 12100F.

    Can play your favorite old games at 60, new games probably work wonderfully when capped at 30.
    I actually think it's a really cool CPU, I find efficiency and temperature much more interesting over raw power these days, that's why I returned my 5700x and got a 5600.

      But for our normal thoughts, it's still OK for using home and office uses, nobody would give them a damn. Intel Processor 300 wasn't bad at all and it's pretty tricky for playing games quite smoothly.

    My first gaming pc was using a pentium back in 2012. As a 13yo, it was crazy fun for that amount of money. I've never had any console games since ps1 and it was a blast. Spent countless hours on all Ezio's Assassin's Creed, NFSU2 and MW, COD MW series, and some locally popular online games. Served me until 2017 when i bought a used i5 on the same platform for $60 and that was even more fun. Hundreds of hours of Borderlands 2 coop with my brother and his friend, skyrim, witcher 3, AC Black Flag, GTA4 and 5, and a lot other. Budget gaming is great, giving good times for people with tight pocket.

      For simple web-browsing and office work even those ancient machines are still fine - letalone new CPUs that not only clock higher but also are vastly more performant at the same clockrate.

    Just looking at the CPU itself from a technical perspective, I'd see more sense in having the entry level made up of CPUs with low power consumption... but of course intel is gonna charge extra for those.
    As far as branding goes, I can sort-of understand it. While us viewing this channel know more or less what a Pentium G4560 or G6700 is, many people associate them with the old Pentium 4s, making it fairly hard to sell used PCs with Pentium CPUs.

For the mobile Pentiums, intel further developed the Pentium 3 into the Pentium M and this architecture later was further developed into the Core and Core 2 architecture, before this then evolved into the Core i series.

That's an eight year old chip, sure, but it gets almost three times the performance in benchmarks and has way more cache, and you've got a new motherboard and RAM with it as well. The only thing the 300 has going for it is vaguely reasonable single thread performance.

    You say 2 core / 4 thread don't have a place in 2024.
    They absolutely do. Especially for a DIY NAS / Torrent / Plex box....
    Might need more if you're transcoding to several TV's. But most have direct play these days...
    But other than that, my 7th Gen i3 (most likely worse than this!!) is still running our home NAS nice and decent.
    You choose the right tool for the right job.

    I have an i3 7100 in my emulation /retro rig. It still does 1080/60 if you got the GPU.
    Also stays at 3.9Ghz (has great cooling and isn't the hottest chip)

    It would be good, if it sold for $35. But it's competing with older-generation chips that, for the same money, will run rings around it, such as an i7-7700. Fine video, by the way.

    when you said that 2 core don't have any place in 2024 well back in 2013 i pick up a g645 along with a gtx650 1gb was good but at that time i wanted to play far cry 4 and after i have realized that it need a 4 core cpu was quite odd but mods come along and then thing was good but yes 2 core for 2024 even for light editting is quite a chalenge and a game of patience experience

    So this is how much we have advanced forward in iGPU technology
    It's a good reason why my work needs to get new PCs, or replace the hard drives with SSDs. The CPU in question is an i5 4570.

      E-cores come in clusters of 4. 2P+4E would be cool, though I'd like to see 2P+8E or even 2P+16E. Might be interesting CPU for home servers, iot devices, nas-s and the like

    As you said, it is the exact same £80 price as the i3-12100F (4C/8T 4.3 GHz), so the 300 (2C/4T 3.9 GHz) is redundant (at retail, at least).
    In fact, you can get the Ryzen 5 4600G (6C/12T 4.2 GHz) for £80 also!
