Specifications

Intel Pentium G620 is a dual-core microprocessor for budget desktop PCs. The specifications and pricing of this model were known since November 2010, and the May 22 launch date was disclosed sometime in April 2011. Before the launch, the CPU was spotted in specifications of Compaq Presario CQ3615L desktop, MSI Wind Top AE2210 All-in-one system, and Shuttle XPC SH67H3 barebone PC. The CPU was also shipped ahead of launch in Dell Inspiron 620/620s desktops in Hong Kong, and sold in US by such companies as Provantage and Buy.com (via eBay).

Unlike previous generation of Pentium G69xx CPUs, that had two separate dies with CPU cores and memory/graphics controllers in one package, the G620 has all chip components integrated on a single die, manufactured using 32nm process. The Pentium incorporates the following components: two CPU cores, level 3 cache, DDR3 memory controller, PCI Express 2.0 interface, Direct Media Interface 2.0, and HD graphics.

Two CPU cores on Intel G620 chip run at 2.6 GHz, and each core includes 64KB L1 and 256 KB L2 caches. The chip has also 3 MB level 3 cache, which is shared between the cores. The microprocessor supports only basic technologies, provided by Sandy Bridge microarchitecture: Intel 64 and VT-x Virtualization. Advanced technologies, such as Turbo Boost and HyperThreading, are not supported on this Pentium. The G620 doesn't include AES and AVX instructions, although it supports earlier SIMD instructions up to SSE4.

Memory controller on the Pentium has two channels, and it can work with DDR3 memory with 1066 and 1333 MHz data rates.

The Intel G620 CPU uses basic HD-capable graphics controller, clocked at 850 MHz, or up to 1.1 GHz when graphics turbo mode is on. These clock frequencies are comparable to more powerful Core i3 / i5 and i7 processors, however the Pentium doesn't support 3D acceleration, and doesn't accommodate such features as Quick Sync video, InTru 3D and Intel Clear video technology. Despite of this, the G620 graphics is more than sufficient for day-to-day tasks, such as browsing, 2D games, and very simple 3D games.

Pentium G620 features the same low-power states, as all other desktop Sandy Bridge microprocessors. The CPU fits socket 1155, also called LGA1155.

Front view. The box has the same size as boxes for second generation i3-2xxx processors. It's not as colorful as Core i3/i5/i7 boxes, so you can easily see that you're getting budget stuff :) The fan/heatsink in the G620 box is a cheap version with aluminum base.

Intel discontinues Pentium and Core-branded desktop CPUs

Dec 08, 2011: In the wake of the launch of desktop Ivy Bridge microprocessors, coming in the second quarter 2012, Intel prepares to discontinue large number of desktop models due to low demand. In the past two days, the company published several Product Change Notification (PCN) documents, that notify customers of upcoming discontinuation of 19 socket 1366, socket 1156, and socket 1155 chips. Full list of retired SKUs includes.

Intel launches Sandy Bridge Pentium and Core CPUs

May 22, 2011: Today Intel updated official pricelist with information on 7 new microprocessors, all built on the latest Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. Prices of existing processors were left unchanged. The list of new models includes mainstream Pentium G620, G840 and G850, low-power Pentium G620T, Core i3-2105 and i5-2405S with beefed-up graphics, and incrementally faster Core i5-2310.

Intel desktop Sandy Bridge CPUs to launch on May 22

May 09, 2011: Less than two weeks remains before introduction of the next wave of Sandy Bridge microprocessors for desktop market. The processor lineup, that will be released on Sunday, May 22, consists of 7 new Pentium, Core i3 and Core i5 SKUs. Pentium models will be the first budget CPUs, built on Sandy Bridge micro-architecture. Core i3s and i5s, on the other hand, are updated versions of previously released chips with slightly better CPU or graphics performance.
