The Intel Core i5-4460 is a slightly upgraded version of Intel's 2013 Haswell i5-4440. Comparing the i5-4460 and i5-4440 shows that the only change is an increase in both base and turbo frequencies from 3.4 to 3.5 GHz. In terms of effective speed the 4460 is exactly on a par with the average of the top ten user rated CPUs, not a bad result for an i5. Thanks to its four cores the 4460 is can easily deal with the vast majority of desktop computing (email, web browsing, word processing etc.). In fact this model is probably overpowered for the majority of users. Most users wont require the multi-core capabilities that the 4460 offers and will do better to choose a lower powered and cheaper CPU. [Jun '14 CPUPro]

The Intel G3440 is a budget dual core Pentium processor. This particular model is largely identical to its predecessor the G3430. Comparing the G3440 and G3430 shows that the two processors are identical apart from the inclusion of clear video HD technology (CVHDT) on the newer G3440. CVHDT can potentially offload processing onto dedicated hardware within the GPU during graphically intensive tasks such as HD video playback or image editing. In terms of performance, thanks to its superb single and dual core capabilities the G3440 scored an effective speed of 85.4. This is a seriously impressive result for a budget processor. In terms of single core speed the G3440 is 20% faster than an i7-950. [Jul '14 CPUPro]
