I think a much more important question is why are you watching Keremy Kyle. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, this kind of a value was last seen in 2008 or 2009. I remember getting a £35 Core2 Celeron @ 1.6GHz and running it at 3.2GHz on a cheap £32 motherboard. Was running at that speed all its live until it was replaced last year.
Those Celeron's were a bit cache limited though so back then I also bought a £55 Core2 Pentium E5200 and gave it a nice +50% overclock again on a cheap (~ £45) board.
Back then there was no specialised £200-£300 CPUs or £200+ "super gaming LED bling" motherboards required.

Such a great budget cpu this.

Perfect for a gaming htpc.

Great value.
Was going to suggest the G4600 because of the HD630 which is a much faster IGP but the premium (at least from CCL) is too much since that costs £78, or nearly 50% more. Unless someone is buying for a specific media PC or similar I don't think it's worth it then.

The G4560 matches the performance of the i3 6100 if you partner it with 2400MHZ memory in a B250 series motherboard (matches it in games where the CPU is the bottleneck, at least) though in the Digitalfoundry test, see link below, the i3 was bottlenecked with 2133MHZ memory (the i3 6100 scales well with faster memory, in games).

I keep hoping the G4600 will drop in price for a tiny office/media build, using just the integrated HD630 graphics (the G4560 uses HD610), but I have yet to see it dip below £75.

Though Amazon price matched on the G4560, CCL at least show it as being in stock with CCL. Bargaintastically hot.

If only there was some trustworthy merchant who could guarantee that their H110 board had the latest BIOS with Kabylake Pentium support... As the cheapest H110 board on uk.pcpartpicker.com is a £42.30 MSI H110M PRO-VD PLUS which over on the MSI website claims it supports this G4560:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/H110M-PRO-VD-PLUS-.html#support-cpu
(with v14 of the BIOS if I understand MSI's badly structured page correctly).
Whereas the cheapest B250 is £62.80. On this kind of a budget that makes all the difference. And no, neither of these boards is suitable for those who think they are later going to drop in an i7-7700K and clock it to 5GHz.

I suspect you could call most of them and check, the bios version is usually on the outside of the box.

I have mixed feelings on that one, on one hand it is nice to have the few extra features, greater connectivity and 2400Mhz memory option of the B250 chipset, but on the other hand, keeping to the whole ethos of building the cheapest possible rig, the cheap and cheerful H110 route, if you can find a vendor who has flashed the bios to support the new Pentium, is appealing, with the money saved put toward a budget Nvidia GTX graphics card, which for some reason with minimum frame rates seems a better pairing with the G4560 than the budget AMD options.

These are great value little CPUs, you really can't argue with the performance that's on offer here for 50 quid.
