The budget CPU overclocking dream may still be alive at Intel

Intel's Pentium Anniversary Edition chip was a surprise to us when it launched a little over two years ago. Sure, that 53W chip offered just two cores and two threads, but the thing overclocked to 4.8GHz and kept pace with much beastlier chips from Intel and AMD in our review. Good times were had, and the chip became a fixture of our budget builds.

When Skylake rolled around, however, a G3258 replacement wasn't among the many dual-core parts at the base of the towering sixth-gen Core processor model lineup . This omission made us sad. Sure, the Core i3-6100 is a great chip, but its $125 price tag ...
