This processor was included in the configuration of the new system unit, which I purchased in 2022. Only the case remained from the old computer) So. In 2022, the config was as follows: i5-3570, 1 Tb HDD, GF GTX660 Ti, 8 Gb RAM, Zalman ZM-600HP PSU. The configuration for the fall of 2022 was simply cosmic. Everything was flying. Moreover, in FHD resolution it was impossible to "hammer" the processor by 100%. 60% max was. After 4 years, they were replaced and added: a video card - on a Sapphire R9 390, a PSU - on a Deepcool DQ750 and a Samsung 120Gb SSD was added. Plans to increase the RAM to 12 or 16 GB. But the processor . And I see no reason to change it. There were fears when buying R9 that he would not be able to reveal its potential, but the fears were unfounded. everything works like clockwork. Moreover, I have a "stock" processor, without the "K" index. And yet, the power is more than enough. Conclusion: if you have a question about replacing the processor of younger models (like the Core i3), then we can safely recommend the i5-3570 as a replacement.
