This show both celerons and pentiums will play the game
But the real question is what pentium do you have and what gpu

I would recommend at least a core 2 quad to play fallout four and mods are not an option with this cpu

It's a G3258 (3MB cache, 3.4 GHz clock speed) with 8GB memory and a Radeon R7360. Figured low-med settings would work, am I correct?

It's overall a killer processor for the price. (And Amazon accidentally gave me one for free huehuehuehue)
The GPU I have confirmed via a friend who has a killer PC but was benchmarking the R7360 can run FO4 decently. Slightly better than consoles, but no console killer.

I think really now we are at the point where dual cores are pointless for newer aaa games. Most now use three or 4 cores. The pentium was awesome for its ocing but some games wont even boot with 2 cores now. Things have certainly movee on and its not going to go back any time soon.
If you are spending money and time on decent new games at least get a quad core to cope.
Edit: I3 with ht also work. And 24min fps from that review is awful...not a nice playing experience. Avoid

Really depends. I own a G3258 (haswell, 2cores). Clocked at @3.2ghz. Stuttering and freezing happens, rare.... but happens. After OC to 4.0ghz almost never. Also PhysX set to GPU (750Ti) and 8gb ram so that nothing would be cached to HDD. If its 1st-3rd gen Pentium CPU then it will stutter more. If you are talking about Core2Duo - it won't work. If its a laptop with pentium - also not a very good idea.
My verdict: It's enough to launch the game but not enough to have a good experience playing it, you will get freezes a lot. I advise to get atleast i3 or even better option - i5 cpu with 4 cores. Dual core gaming is at its edge.
Edit: To my understanding if fps is low stabile, its GPU bottlenecking. If you get good framerates but everything freezes sometimes - its CPU bottleneck.

Yes a strong oc on the pentium does ok in fallout 4. I think through 2016 it will signal the end for dual cores though in new aaa games.
Hey you have it ! Why not try it your self ? If it runs good for your liking then dont upgrade or buy anything . But if it's stuttering or crashing (most likely it Will) then upgrade to an I5 for games . I3 is starting to struggle and won't last long . But if your really on a budget then look into the AMD Chips

^the skylake i3 was beating the best amd chips in the fallout benchmark...theyll be ok for a while I think
Considering most games are using four cores the I3 is a dual core , eh. It may get better fps but that doesn't matter if it a stuttering . While gaming you'll have a 100% usage, leaving no headroom for multitasking. But anyways I suggest a quad core as an I3 is struggling to play GTA 5. Would probably not do so good on fallout either

I3 has hyperthreading. Not true quad,but is shown to play games fine. I'd suggest true quad i5 as well for ideal experience, I agree there.
Still, it is impressive that a 2c/4t chip can outperform a 220w 4ghz 8 core...cant wait for amds next cpus which will hopefully compete with the newer i5s and drive the cost down!

Yah it's good for rendering . I recently installed a a new cooler. the Cryorig H5 Universal . Max temp while gaming is like 35c load and 10-18 idle. Just don't know if I should oc
But anyways , I say give the chip a shot if you have it

Kay got it.
But I found this:

And he has a similar performance GPU.
