Pentium G840: a dual-core 2.8 GHz

A few weeks ago, Intel has successfully launched its second generation Core processors, the Sandy Bridge. In addition to the Core 2xxx-i3, i5 and i7-2xxx-2xxx launched so far, the chipmaker is also expected to propose Celeron and Pentium based on this architecture. A screenshot of CPU-z on the Pentium G840 has just made its appearance.

Clocked at 2.8 GHz but without HyperThreading, dual-core processor is equipped with 3 MB L3 cache. It features a graphics chipset running at 850 MHz (1.1 GHz Turbo mode), supports the SSE instructions 4. x and VT-x and a TDP of 65 watts. A low-power model, the G620T is also provided with a graphics core clocked at only 650 MHz and a TDP reduced to 35W.

Finally, note that G620 and G850 Pentium, respectively clocked at 2.6 GHz and 2.9 GHz are expected to complement the range.
