Intel Pentium Gold G5600F 2-core LGA 1151
A locked 3.9 GHz clock speed across two cores and four threads delivers consistent performance for basic tasks, but the lack of integrated graphics means a discrete GPU is mandatory. Its 54W TDP and included boxed cooler make it a simple drop-in upgrade for LGA 1151 300-series motherboards. This processor is best for office PC builders needing a low-cost, low-power chip for web browsing and document editing.
