Very excellent cpu
Really good cpu for gaming also very good to play video games temporarily if you don’t have a graphics card at the moment or if you’re playing games that don’t require much power.

Bang for buck
There might be better processors in the 13th gen, but for its time, it was the best speed per dollar value. It performs like a champ in all of the AAA games I've thrown at it.
