Review on πŸ’» Superior Performance with Intel Core i3-7100 7th Gen Desktop Processor - 3.90 GHz (BX80677I37100) by Wiktor Barczuk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

Not everyone needs super speed. And if you are not a gamer, then even the weakest processor from the IntelCore iX family with integrated graphics will fully satisfy your home needs. At the same time, it is significantly cheaper than its fellow i5. It is quite possible to assemble a system without a separate video card on a modern motherboard with DDR4 support, and it will definitely be enough for 3 years. Please note that its HD Graphics 630 graphicscomre will not be officially supported in Windows 7. Recently released beta drivers from motherboard manufacturers can temporarily solve the problem (one of the 4 links at the end of the article . De/newsticker/meldung/Intel-Prozessoren-Kaby-Lake-unter-Windows-7-Geht -halbwegs-doch-3606409.Htmlhelped me too).

Pros
  • Cheap. Cold. Modern (at the beginning of 2022). Very good for single core applications.
Cons
  • Not exactly a drawback, but the driver for the integrated graphics core under Windows 7 is not so easy to find.
