Intel CM80616004593AE Pentium G6950 2.8GHz Socket-LGA1156 3Mb L3 Cache Dual Core Processor

Overview

Pentium G6950 is the only processor from Pentium Dual-Core family (now branded as "Pentium"), which was released in the first batch of Intel 0.032 micron microprocessors at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January 2010. The G6950 processor runs at 2.8 GHz, that is a bit slower than the fastest Pentium Dual-Core processor at present time (January 2009). On the other hand, the G6950 is based on newer Westmere micro-architecture, and, as such, has on-chip memory controller and graphics processor, and includes large shared level 3 cache. Being a budget processor, the Pentium G6950 lacks advanced features found in many Nehalem/Westmere processors. The Pentium CPU doesn't support Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost features, and doesn't include new AES instructions. The G6950 has only 3 MB level 3 cache, as opposed to 4 MB or 8 MB L3 cache in Core-branded processors. The biggest advantage of the new Pentium microprocessor is its low price. At introduction, the G6950 was priced for $87 - much cheaper than any other 0.032 micron processor at the time.
