This amazing processor. I did a lot of research on my son's computer. He is an avid Fortnite player and he rather likes the performance! But my god, I can't afford to throw away $1,000 every time a new game comes out? Well the current gaming PC wasn't bad but it's been around 8 years since it's had a significant upgrade and that makes a big difference! Only about 40-50 FPS (frames per second) was achieved on an old motherboard. /CPU and it really needed an update. One thing I forgot to mention is that a good graphics card is important too. It has an AMD 480, so you'll need to invest in a decent graphics card for around $150-$200. Personally, I like the EVGA 1660, but the 1650 Super is also good in the $200 range or less. During my research, I found that not only does the i5-9400F perform well, but this i3-9100F does an amazing job when it comes to gaming. So, for those who love Fortnite, you will really like this processor and it is worth upgrading. Of course you will most likely have to buy another motherboard, but I have one too and it works perfectly! Sometimes for $75 or less, you'll be amazed at how well it works. I ran a CPU test on my son's computer and it almost beat my old i7-3770K! Of course, that processor is about 10 years old now and the i3 is only a few months old; Intel has done a great job with their lower entry-level processors! Great job Intel!
