Intel Pentium G630
About processor
The Intel Pentium G630 is a budget-friendly processor designed for desktop use. Built on the Sandy Bridge architecture with 32nm technology, this dual-core processor is capable of handling everyday computing tasks with ease.
With a TDP of 65W, the Pentium G630 strikes a good balance between performance and power efficiency. Its two cores and two threads allow for smooth multitasking and basic productivity tasks. While it may not be ideal for heavy gaming or demanding professional applications, it is more than capable of handling everyday office work, web browsing, and media consumption.
In terms of performance, the Pentium G630 scores a respectable 403 in Geekbench 6's single-core benchmark and 651 in the multi-core benchmark. While these scores may not be groundbreaking, they are more than sufficient for typical home and office use.
Overall, the Intel Pentium G630 is a solid choice for budget-conscious consumers looking for a reliable processor for their everyday computing needs. Its energy efficiency, decent performance, and affordability make it a recommended option for entry-level desktop systems.

Instruction Set
?
The instruction set is a hard program stored inside the CPU that guides and optimizes CPU operations. With these instruction sets, the CPU can run more efficiently. There are many manufacturers that design CPUs, which results in different instruction sets, such as the 8086 instruction set for the Intel camp and the RISC instruction set for the ARM camp. x86, ARM v8, and MIPS are all codes for instruction sets. Instruction sets can be extended; for example, x86 added 64-bit support to create x86-64. Manufacturers developing CPUs that are compatible with a certain instruction set need authorization from the instruction set patent holder. A typical example is Intel authorizing AMD, enabling the latter to develop CPUs compatible with the x86 instruction set.
