As is, what with sales of the G4560 to people who expect them to be decent gaming chips for many years to come, it'll probably be a couple years after the launch of 9th gen consoles before I can properly do that.

I forgotten about the AVX and other instructions that the i3 has but the Pentium doesn't. Perhaps you are right,but I'm not sure what benefits those would bring to the consumer level anyway.

Apparently a rhetorical question on Hardware.fr got way out of hand.
