Intel Pentium G3250
Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The Intel Pentium G3250 is a processor that once appealed to many budget-conscious users. Based on the Haswell S architecture, it provided a solid foundation for everyday computing tasks. Its 14nm manufacturing process was quite advanced for its time. We see that the Intel Pentium G3250 is still a surprisingly reliable option.

It is often sufficient for simple office work or surfing the Internet. It also proves to be adequate even for playing media content. A major advantage of this processor is the integrated Intel HD Graphics (Haswell GT1). It allows the operation of a system without an additional graphics card. This saves costs and simplifies the setup.

Equipped with 3 MB Level 3 cache, it handles basic requirements. A maximum memory bandwidth of 21 GB/s supports this. In addition, the processor supports PCIe 3.0. This still offers suitable connectivity for older expansion cards. The Intel Pentium G3250 is an example of how robust technology fulfills its purpose for a long time.

It is a good choice for systems that do not require high computing power.
  • Solid entry-level performance
  • Integrated Intel HD Graphics
  • Based on Haswell S architecture
  • Suitable for office and media
