What customers say about "Details"

Intel Pentium G850 CPU Processor

I'm using this chip as a gateway into the 1155 socket. Good product.
Easy to install. Easy choice.
1155 socket so I can upgrade easily to i7 just by changing CPU. Fast HD2000 graphics.
It is cheap, fast, 65W, LGA1155 socket. Perfect for me.
Much better than expected. Installation was easy.

Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Processor

I put it into a new Asrock motherboard. I like it.
Quiet, even with standard cpu fan/cooler.
I don't find any problem with the included Intel CPU cooling fan. Easy to install.
Since Turbo Boost is not possible, the standard fan/heatsink is more than sufficient. Great socket.
CPU have 4 cores and run really smooth.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"

Intel Pentium G850 CPU Processor

Fast, runs cold, low profile heatsink.
Pretty fast. It's just as fast as the triple-core AMDs.
Almost as fast as an i5-650 I have in another tower.
Fast enough and the internal graphics are perfectly fine for general and business use.
Paired with a SSD, it's incredibly fast. Fast little chip!

Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Processor

3.3Ghz this CPU will give you solid performance for most everyday tasks.
With 4 threads (to physical cores w/ hyper-threading) and a clock speed of 3.3Ghz this CPU will give you solid performance for most everyday tasks.
2 cores, 4 threads, good built-in video graphics, and faster than my old i5 laptop!
Fast dual-core processor, and I can't really tell the difference between this and my quad-core i5-2500K on regular Internet browsing and word processing tasks.
Fast, same WEI score as the older Lynnfield.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"

Intel Pentium G850 CPU Processor

Excellent! Paired with Biostar TH61MB G.Skills 8GB memory.
Mounted on a GigaByte GA-B75M-D3V with G.SKILL Ripjaws X (2 x 4GB) DDR3. Perfect work.
An excellent budget CPU with good memory support. Would recommend Intel to anyone.
For the money, this is a great processor. Great memory support. Good performance. Fast.
Pareema 1 x 4Gb DDR3 1600 good for my mobo and this CPU.

Intel Core i3-2120 CPU Processor

I am running a small machine with this CPU, 8Ghz of cheap RAM, and a bargain Mobo. Works great.
It is running perfectly along with 4 GB of RAM and a GTX 560, this combination is good enough to max out any game.
I bought this item with a kit, a motherboard and ram memories, this, too, surpassed my expectations in quality and performance, 100 % matches the seller's description.
It would be nice if it came with a higher HD graphics chipset and the ability to use more shared RAM.
This is the sandly one and memory is locked to 1333 while the ivy one has 1600 plus runs cooler and less the 20 more.
