"In a somewhat surprising move disclosed earlier this month, Intel decided to launch a budget processor with K-class overclocking credentials. Said chip is the Pentium Anniversary Edition, based on the same Haswell architecture as the latest Core series, but now with an unlocked multiplier that paves the way for end-user tinkering.
Launched to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the first Pentium processor, this new budget chip is actually known as the Pentium G3258. Imbued with two cores and able to process a total of two threads, G3258 is nominally clocked in at 3.20GHz and backed with 3MB of cache. It isn't the fastest Pentium G-series chip on paper; that honour goes to the G3450, which is able to run at a maximum of 3.40GHz."
