What the Pentium G4560T is
The Pentium G4560T is a two core, four thread desktop processor from Kaby Lake. It launched in January 2017 with a fixed 2.9 GHz at 35 W. Two cores with Hyper-Threading cover office towers and small servers where four threads help multitasking at low heat.
Three megabytes of cache support office work with background tools. The fixed 2.9 GHz keeps pace steady for shared PCs. Thirty five watts fit compact cases with quiet cooling.
HD Graphics 610 with 12 execution units from 350 MHz to 1050 MHz drives office displays. Hardware decode keeps video off the cores. Hyper-Threading is the step above Celeron dual cores without threads.
On 14 nm the G4560T serves low power desktops against the 54 W G4560. Tray channels supply board makers for thin towers. Locked multiplier keeps tuning out of scope.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The G4560T fits LGA 1151 revision 1 only. B250 and H270 accept it natively, while H110 may need a BIOS update. Three hundred series boards never support it.
The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers revision matching. Thin mini ITX boards pair it with DDR4 for quiet offices.
The Pentium Intel Pentium G4600T on the same socket adds 100 MHz where pace helps. The Celeron Intel Celeron G3930T is the lower cost dual core without Hyper-Threading.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4-2133/2400 or DDR3L in two channels up to 64 GB is the support. Two modules keep dual channel bandwidth for graphics. SSDs decide boot feel more than clocks here.
Sixteen PCIe 3.0 lanes wire a single slot or NVMe storage. Office builds use integrated output for two displays. Low profile coolers cover 35 W easily.
The 75 mm mounting pattern shares coolers with LGA 1155, 1150 and LGA 1200. Compact cases need clear intake for sustained loads.
Upgrade paths
On the same socket Core i3-7100 adds clocks and cache, while Core i5-7400 moves to four cores. All reuse board and DDR4.
Past revision 1 a new board is required. Most owners add SSDs and memory before CPU swaps.
