Review on Intel Core I5 3470 Quad Core Processor Computer Components by Micha Gabriel Czajko ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, best quality.

My GTX760 was matched up with an Intel Core i3 2120 3.3 processor. On the one hand, the pace at which modern games are played was more than adequate for itself in this iteration. Any game with the maximum settings could be played at a consistent 20–45 frames per second. My comfort level was not met by the lower limit of 20 frames per second, however. It would appear that the i3 couldn't load the video card completely. I gave it a lot of thinking, but in the end I decided to go ahead and switch to the i5 3570 processor despite the potential downsides. I have to admit that I was rather pleasantly pleased. The number of frames per second (fps) that are typically achieved in games like WoT, Far Cry 3, and others has increased by a factor of 1.5. I was not anticipating such a significant rise. And the minimum allowed frame rate is now 35 frames per second. Obviously, this makes me rather happy. This % cost me $6,460 to purchase. I believe that it was money well spent.

Pros
  • Fast. Not hot. However, after i3, you can no longer describe the weather as chilly. Feels amazing in games. I was not aware that this processor required overclocking until it was too late. And the process is exactly the same for every game.
Cons
  • Until I noticed. There is a hunch that at this point in time, the price is the only factor that can be ascribed to being a disadvantage. And last, in the event that you truly find fault.
