Intel G4560 Pentium Processor LGA1151

Intel launched its 7th generation refresh of the Core processor family, codenamed Kaby Lake. While the new desktop processor was a moderate improvement over its immediate predecessor, the major news of the launch was that Intel would, for the first time, make Hyper-Threading available on a Pentium-class microprocessor.

As we detailed at the time, this was an unprecedented move for the company – ever since it launched its Core i3/i5/i7 branding, Hyper-Threading has been reserved to those processor divisions, while Pentium and Celeron chips lacked it.
