Is intel killing the pentium g4560?

The arrival of the Pentium G4560 has been a revolution in designing low-cost equipment with excellent video game performance. With a sale price of 65 euros, it has become the absolute champion of tight budgets by offering comparable performance to the much more expensive Core i3.

Intel is not going to kill the Pentium G4560

The Pentium G4560 has been the first Pentium series processor to integrate hyperthreading technology enabled, allowing it to handle four processing threads just like its older Core i3 brothers at a much higher price. Despite this, there are still differences with the Core i3 such as the absence of SmartCache, support for Optane and a much weaker integrated GPU, differences that are not relevant to most users and do not hinder their performance at all.

This situation has led to sales of the Core i3 falling a lot and accumulating in stores, something that Intel does not like at all and therefore, supposedly, they have been forced to take measures such as reducing the production of the Pentium G4560. This has made many media echo that Intel is killing the Pentium G4560. What is true in all this? Wccftech has been able to speak to an Intel representative whose response has been forceful: "No, we are not planning to change the production capacity of the Pentium G4560. "

If we continue investigating we see that the Pentium G4560 is also the most used processor in cryptocurrency mining systems, this has caused its sale price to have skyrocketed in some stores to reach a cost 28% higher than the price recommended by Intel. The reason for this is that for a price that is very little higher than that of a Celeron, you get a processor suitable for mining but also for playing games . Why not play a few games if you already have a very powerful system with several GPUs for mining?
