Best you can do on 3rd Gen is the i7-3770K. Base clock of 3.5GHz, turbo 3.9GHz. That's plenty to match up with a 1050ti and a considerable performance increase in many games over the dual core i3. You really won't see much of any real difference with either the 2600 or the 8400 as the 60Hz monitor you probably have and the 1050ti won't demand the difference. … [Read more...] about i5 3470 vs i5 8400 vs Ryzen 5 2600

i7-4790 equivalent to i3-8100?
Friend of mine currently own a FX-8350 and wants to upgrade. She found a used i7-4790 (non 'K') + motherboard (not sure of chipset or model) for $200 even. GPU userbench states that the i3-8100 has a 6% performance lead. Is that a gaming comparison or something else?

Intel i3-6006u vs Pentium N5000 vs Celeron N4000
bishaldekaajb said: People usually say that i3 is better than Pentium but here I can see an opposite picture. The Pentium N5000 processor has more cores and more L3 cache memory. It's maximum clock speed is higher than the i3-6006u processor too. Additionally it's TDP is 6W which is much lesser than the 15W TDP of i3-6006u. The price of the Pentium N5000 model is … [Read more...] about Intel i3-6006u vs Pentium N5000 vs Celeron N4000
i7 3770 vs i7 2700k
WildCard999 said: Either would be a good choice but if your motherboard supports overclocking then the 2700K would be the one I'd go with and with the $30 saved you can put it towards a good CPU cooler such as the Cryorig H7. Nah it's a b75m. Either way i'm coming from an i3 2120 so literally anything like either cpu would probably blow my mind. Also have … [Read more...] about i7 3770 vs i7 2700k
Intel Core i3-8350K and Core i3-8100 (14nm, Coffee Lake)
Introduction The last year has been particularly interesting on the CPU front. AMD came out swinging with its array of Ryzen chips from March 2017 onwards, Intel then upped its consumer game, for the first time in a while, in October 2017 when the 8th Gen Core family received a core-count boost. Most recently, AMD finally added an IGP to Ryzen in February 2018. Lots of change. … [Read more...] about Intel Core i3-8350K and Core i3-8100 (14nm, Coffee Lake)
