The Intel Pentium was first introduced in 1993, where it became Intel’s flagship CPU series, until it was supplanted by the Intel Core Series in 2006. As of 2023, the Pentium has simply been rebranded as Intel Processors. Recent Intel Pentium processors are based on the same architectures as the Intel Core Series. As such, they share many of the same features and sockets. Many Pentium CPUs harness a dual-core architecture which can operate four threads, thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, and support the latest RAM standards, including both DDR4 and DDR5. What’s more, many Intel Pentium processors come with integrated graphics, making them a fantastic choice for an entry-level or casual gaming PC. With the addition of a dedicated graphics card, however, a Pentium gaming PC will be able to play modern AAA titles. With their generally lower power consumption, an Intel Pentium processor is easy to maintain at peak performance with a simple cooling solution.
Since its introduction in 1993, the Intel Pentium processor has played a large role in the evolution of personal computing. The series has utilised a wide range of architectures and seen the innovation of many technologies that are still in use today.
