Intel to ship four new Ivy Bridge-based Pentium CPUs in Q2 2013

New Pentium desktop processors have 2 cores, but lack Hyper-Threading technology, and therefore can execute only two threads at once. Both G2000- and G2100 series CPUs support only basic features, like Intel 64 and Virtualization. The Pentium chips integrate HD graphics, clocked at 650 MHz, and up to 1050 MHz when the processor has thermal headroom. The parts also have dual-channel memory controller, that supports DDR3-1333 on the G2030 and the G2030T, and up to DDR3-1600 on the G2120T and the G2140. All Ivy Bridge desktop Pentiums fit socket 1155.
