How good are the new Pentium G620 & G840s

[simon12]

Question as per title I can find no benchmarks or reviews with any useful info. Are they no good at all or should they replace the Athlon x3 & x4 as best budget processors?

Cheers, kind of what I thought the G840 is better for gaming than an Athlon x3 but only just and worse at everything else. Considering its more expensive for the CPU and the Board I think the Athlon x3 will keep its budget recommendation, also you can overclock the Athlon not the Pentium.

Obviously you are not telling the truth

G840 does win in some non-gaming applications.
