What we think
This is a significant discount on what is already a very affordable CPU. Its performance is not at the peak of what is possible in modern gaming, but in terms of bang for your buck, this chip is hard to surpass. If you are looking for the fastest performance out there you’ll want to consider other options, but for an affordable and capable CPU for gaming, this chip is hard to ignore. Because of its mid-range performance profile, we’d recommend pairing this CPU with a graphics card such as the RTX 3060, or RX 6600. With a graphics card in this performance range and this CPU, you will get good frame rates for HD gaming.
