I was surprised by the quality for the price.

It pulls most games, although modern ones need something more powerful, with 4 cores. Crysis loads it in full, 1080p decodes without straining (the VLC process loads the percentage by 8-16%). Windows 7 interface flies. In SuperPi, 1M counted in 15 seconds. I installed two sticks of two gigs each, changed the built-in boost limit from 1100 to 1600 MHz and now I have it somewhere at the level of 7600 GT (the bus, consider, has become 128-bit). COD4 MW goes to medium at 1024x768, NFS MW to full, but is not supported by FSAA and shadows (not available in the menu). UT3 on average at 800x600, CSS on average at 1440x900 - more than 100 FPS, in 3DMark05 it gives out 6770 parrots. . In progress!

Pros

Productive, 2 cores, not hot, integrated video core.

Cons

On the H61, it doesn't run on the bus, at least for me, but this is a flaw in the chipset, not the processor. Locked multiplier. But here I don’t know, it has Tcase = ~69 degrees, if you overclock by a factor of more than 4 GHz, then you need good cooling, costing half a processor, or even more. Although, i3s are a piece more expensive than this combination, plus a cooler. That is, theoretically, he could break the stock i3, costing less. Accordingly, i3 could bypass i5, and i5 - i7. What is the benefit for Intel?
