Doesn't support embedded video

This is a good inexpensive processor, but don't be an idiot like me who doesn't realize that you need a dedicated graphics card for this processor. I spent 8 hours testing 3 boards, 2 processors and 4 memory sticks before actually looking at the boxes with those processors.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • ---

Suitable for World of Warcraft

Main reason for purchase was to play Word of Warcraft. He plays World of Warcraft very well. No integrated graphics, but that doesn't matter since I'm using a graphics card. The only downside is that there is no fast sync for video transcoding. There's a lot to consider when doing something like this.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Speed

Plan on using your own thermal paste

Ideal if you want to use a discrete graphics card and don't want or don't want to worry about overclocking. I have a problem with the packaging. The standard cooler was packed in a cardboard box. The thermal paste had lint and small pieces of cardboard. I was already planning on using my own paste, but I'd be really upset if I didn't plan to, or if I had extra paste.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Not sure

Great solution if you are using a discrete graphics card

Core processor graphics are integrated into the CPU, not the motherboard. If you're using an additional graphics card, this is a great solution. Note: Even if your motherboard has physical video connectors, they will not work with this processor without additional graphics. However, if you're planning on having a dedicated card, why pay for something you won't be using.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Available in black only

If you play/make something that isn't production, buy it.

From personal experience, the difference between this $80 processor and the $520 9th Gen i9 9900K is as follows. $440. The frame rate increase at 1440p was ABOUT 2-3 fps, which is low enough to fall within the error window. I can't think of a consumer use case where you're actually going to get ANY benefit from more powerful processors, other than a few minutes reduction in video encoding (that's encoding, not decoding, aka "viewing"). Put that $440 into a GPU upgrade and you'll REALLY helpโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Neutral

The new i3 series has taken a turn for the worse. DO NOT BUY!

There was a time when i3s were good but I couldn't even play CoD on the lowest settings. I used a 1660 Super ($300 video card) so I know it wasn't a card. I had maybe 25 fps and constant freezing. Completely unacceptable for any i-series processor. I'm very, very unimpressed. In fact, I'm blown away that this processor can hit 100% load so easily. For games, this processor is completely unsuitable for modern games. As for general use? This is good if you only want to do one task at a timeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • So far so good

Great value for money

Good with the Intel line if you want to spend a lot of money on a processor, np. They have you covered well. If you want to save money and get a powerful processor, then here's the deal. I replaced my old 3rd gen Intel I7-3770 with this one, which performed slightly better. I have an 8th/9th generation motherboard. Generation. I now think I'll have this for a year or two and then upgrade to 9th Gen Intel I5/I7/I9 as needed. But at the moment my I3-9100F has a lot of power. The CPU has noโ€ฆ

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • clarity

Fabulous and awesome Fortnite processor!

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 mentionโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
