Looking at the two different processor usages above, it’s easy to see why the Pentium G3220 struggled in Metro Last Light. Intel Core i7-4770K Metro Last Light CPU Usage: Intel Pentium G3220 Metro Last Light CPU Usage:
When running the Metro Last Light benchmark, the Intel Pentium G3220 processor was getting utilized quite a bit as we can see below: The Pentium G3220 held an average of 83.7% of the performance of the i7-4770K. The only game that there was any real performance difference at 1920×1080 was Metro Last Light. What really surprised me though, was that the G3220 wasn’t the bottleneck at the higher gaming resolution! When we ran most of the gaming benchmarks at 1920×1080 we were limited by the ASUS Direct CUII NVIDIA GeForce GTX670 that we had in our test bench. The gaming performance of the Intel Pentium G3220 was definitely better than I though it would be across most of the games. Though for only $67.63 it certainly held its own when it came to gaming! The Intel Pentium G3220 is only a 3.0GHz Pentium dual core processor and definitely wasn’t meant to contend with the Intel Core i7 4770K and the i5 4670K that are meant for completely different audiences. I had a bit of an idea about the CPU intensive tasks and knew not to expect to much from the G3220 dual core during the processor intensive tests like Cinebench R15 and the x264 HD Video encoding benchmark. As a dual core processor I really wasn’t quite sure what to expect from it, especially in terms of gaming performance.
The Intel Pentium G3220 really left me surprised today.
