Model overview based on user reviews
The Intel Pentium Kaby Lake processors are praised for their affordable price, low temperature, and decent performance for budget gaming PCs. Users appreciate its ability to handle everyday tasks and some gaming when paired with a GTX 1050 or 1060 graphics card, achieving medium-high settings in games like The Witcher 3. Despite being a bit outdated and having only two cores, it remains a good choice for budget builds. However, it may struggle with more demanding tasks and modern games, and some users note that the platform is becoming obsolete due to newer options like Ryzen and Coffee Lake. Overall, it's a solid option for those on a budget, but not ideal for heavy multitasking or future-proofing.

I installed the processor on the ASRock H110M-DGS R3.0 motherboard, it started up without problems right out of the box the first time. I didn't use the boxed cooler because I know it's quite noisy. It's better (in my opinion) to spend an additional $15 and get a quiet, powerful 120 mm cooler. I currently have it paired with the Deepcool Gamma Archer cooler and the widely loved Zalman ZM-STG2 thermal paste, and the temperature as I'm writing this review is 31 degrees. Regarding performance, I can say that it's sufficient for me at the end of 2018. It handles everything I need on ultras with 8 GB of DDR4 and a 1060 with 3 GB. Of course, it won't handle new games as well, but I haven't tried. I might get something more powerful in a couple of years, but for now, it's sufficient for me. For its price, it's top-notch. Cheap, powerful Not found  Viktor S.: use Intel G4560 BOX few months |
A good processor, unleashes the full power of the 1050ti video card, handles all the toys. A good competitor to the i3 for the money. A good budget processor. Unleashes the full power of my video card, and is ideal for budget gaming PCs. until I noticed use Intel G4560 BOX less than month |
in a bundle, the 1050 ti pulls games at 60 fps on medium-high settings, heating up to 43 degrees! Cheap, Cold, Powerful no use Intel Pentium Kaby Lake less than month |

Big changes
Perhaps it is the Pentium family that has undergone the greatest changes among all the Kaby Lake processors. Unlike the old Pentium Skylake, which were dual-core and differed from the Celeron only in a slightly higher frequency and cache size, the new Pentium Kaby Lake received support for Hyper-Threading technology and became four-threaded, like the Core i3. The youngest and cheapest Pentium G4560 costs just $70 and is now the starting point for building an entry-level gaming PC.
Our whole life is a game
The integrated graphics accelerator of the Pentium G4560 is the same as that of the Celeron - Intel HD 610 – you won't be able to play new games on it. But if you add a discrete graphics card, the situation changes dramatically - the processor can easily cope with medium graphics settings even in the newest games. For high settings, four virtual cores are not enough - you definitely need four physical cores.
There are not many nuclei
Even if you don't plan to play on a PC, we still strongly recommend choosing a four-thread Pentium G4560 over a dual-core Celeron. Multithreaded and, as a result, demanding on the number of processor cores, even seemingly simple applications are now: web browsers, spreadsheet editors, and database management systems.
