Phenom II X4 960T Vs Pentium G620
The Pentium G620 is the dual core Sandy Bridge processor from the Intel while the 960T is the older Phenom ii processor from AMD.
However, the Phenom ii 960 is still better than the Pentium G620 in processor performance.
The Pentium G620 is however a low cost processor that comes with integrated graphics ( HD 2000). The Graphics is not great in the sense that – it will not allow you to play high end games without stuttering. But if you are not into gaming the G620 provides option of building a very low cost desktop system.
