  • If you're gaming/doing anything non-Production, buy this.
Style: Desktop Processor
I can tell you from personal experience, the difference between this $80 CPU and the $520 9th Gen i9 9900K is... $440. Framerate gain at 1440p was ROUGHLY 2-3 frames per second, small enough to be in the window of error. I cannot imagine a consumer use case where you're actually going to get ANY use out of the beefier CPUs besides shaving a couple minutes off a video encode (that's encoding, not decoding, aka "watching stuff"). Put that $440 into a GPU upgrade and you'll REALLY be helping yourself. This CPU smokes, and sips power to boot. Do not buy into the hypebeast. You don't need to spend $950 on a PC before you even get to the graphics card. Be smart. Don't throw money into the wastebasket. Use it better. ... show more

  • Good for World of Warcraft
Style: Desktop Processor
The main reason I bought this was for playing Word of Warcraft. It is doing very well at playing World of Warcraft. No integrated graphics but that doesn't matter since I am using graphics card. the only negative is no quick sync is available for video transcoding. Something to think about if you do that kind of thing. ... show more

  • Great value for the buck
Style: Desktop Processor
Ok with the Intel lineup if you want to go and spend a ton of cash on a CPU, np. They got you covered well. If you want to save cash and get a strong CPU, then here's the deal. I replaced my old 3rd Gen Intel I7-3770 with this one which bench marked a bit better than it. I got a 8th/9th Gen Motherboard to go with it. Now I figure I have this for a year or two and then upgrade as needed to an Intel I5/I7/I9 9th Gen as needed. But for now my I3-9100F has plenty of power. There is no graphics included in the CPU so you'll need a graphics card. Then again most PC builders always get a Graphics card so this won't be a deal breaker. So, I'd snap this one up if you're an "Intel-Guy" but I'm sure if you can handle the setup then Ryzen CPU's probably offer more. But I'm more of plug-n-go type. Also this one came with a Fan which was good. This is a "Turbo" CPU as well which saves you electricity when you're just doing low priority tasks. Update: This CPU is still going strong. I paired it with a GTX 1650 Super Gaming X 4GB DDR6 graphics card. It's doing very well considering the cost versus more expensive CPU's that are out there. I also of 16GB of RAM. In this arrangement I can easily run a basic Hadoop setup on a VirtualBox (From Hortonworks sandbox (CDP)). They need about 12GB of RAM at least and about 50GB + HardDrive space. But, this can push those newer games but will struggle a bit on the most demanding games. For those you'll need an I5 9th gen or greater for you super gamers out there. But I'm an IT guy running Hadoop and Python and Machine Learning classes. This is more than enough to do that. ... show more

  • Plan on using your own thermal paste
Style: Desktop Processor
Perfect to get if you plan on using a dedicated graphics card and don't need or want to worry about overclocking. I do have a problem with the packaging. The stock cooler came uncovered in a cardboard box. There was lint and little specks of cardboard in the thermal paste. I already planned on using my own paste, but I'd be really annoyed if I didn't plan on it or have any to spare. ... show more

  • Does not support onboard video
Style: Desktop Processor
This is a good low budget build processor but don't be that idiot like me that didn't realize you NEED a dedicated graphics card for this CPU. Spent 8 hrs testing 3 board, 2 CPUs and 4 memory sticks before I realy looked a that CPU boxes.

  • Great value if you are using a discrete graphics card
Style: Desktop Processor
The circuitry for graphics on Core processors is integrated on the CPU, not the motherboard. If you are using an add-on graphics card, this is a great value. Note: even of your motherboard has physical connectors for video, they will not work with this CPU without add-on Graphics, howevee if you plan to have a dedicated card, why pay for what you aren't going to use. ... show more

  • New i3 series has taken a turn for the absolute worst. DON'T BUY!
Style: Desktop Processor
There was a time when i3's were good, but I couldn't even play a game of CoD on the absolute lowest settings. I was using a 1660 Super (a $300 Graphics Card) so I know it wasn't the card. I was getting maybe 25 fps, and constant freezing. Totally unacceptable for any i series CPU. I'm very very unimpressed. In fact I'm appalled that this CPU hit 100% utilization so easily. For gaming, this CPU is completely non-functional for modern titles. As for general use? It does well, as long as you only plan on doing one task at a time. There is very little room for workload on this CPU. Even my programs were freezing when I had two or more open at a time. I know people test this CPU with solid states and lots of ram so it has no bottleneck, but that's not the price point of this CPU. Most will buy a HDD or an SSHD with 8gb of ram. And for that kind of build, this CPU is slow enough that it gets stuck any time it handles files off a disk drive. My hardware isn't bad either; I'm running a 2TB Firecuda with plenty of space left on it and good SATA cables. So I'm not sure what intel is doing with this CPU, but you'd clearly be better off spending 99 on a 1st or 2nd gen Ryzen 3. Terrible terrible CPU. I've seen Pentium Processors that perform better. Maybe even Celrons. ... show more
