    This CPU won't win any speed competitions, but it's more than sufficient for most tasks, and if paired with a dedicated GPU can play games quite well... but don't even think about using the integrated GPU for anything more than light tasks, it's just not good.

    Intel i5 Review

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Processor is very good. your turbo speed will depend largely on board and memory quality and speed. The heatsink fan had somewhat loose legs. Which is the reason for 4 stars. If you are a heavy gamer go i9. I built my PC with the i5 because it is going to be a media server. Mostly music, So the i5 is more than enough.
