: £55 GBP / $70 USDIts been a busy year for Intels desktop division. Firstly, timed with Computex 2014 we had the release of Core i7-4790K along with the introduction of the Intel Z97 chipset just prior to the trade show, and just last month the enthusiast segment moved into its next stage with the mighty Haswell-E aka Core i7-5960X and again, another new chipset via the Intel X99 During the summer months Intel released a special chip to celebrate 20 years of the Pentium brand. Although this processor lived in the shadow of Devils Canyon it still has an exciting story to tell. G3258 aka Pentium K is an unlocked dual-core processor based around 22nm Haswell architecture. G3258 is regarded as Intels best bang for buck offering because it sits at the low-cost price of just £55 GBP / $70 USD and promises to be highly overclockable. Will these claims hold true?
