These APUs are still good candidates for budget eSport gaming and most AAA titles with the sole exception of CP2077. However, they come with a catch, as you will need to use very high clock speed RAM (DDR3 2133 or 2400 on XMP) to get decent results with the onboard graphics (Which can trade blows with a GT 730 easily), if you want decent single core performance, you will need to overclock them over 4.0GHz base, preferably at 4.5GHz, however, getting past 4.5GHz base will yield you only two overclocked cores and two at idle clockspeed (1.7GHz). If high speed DDR3 is cheap on your location, get one of these APUs, they are certainly worth it if they are cheap.

Poor

Horrible multicore performance, High TDP for the performance you get.

Excellent

I bought one of these when it came out, I had a radeon r5 240 graphics card at the time, this cpu was a beast. It lasted for about 3 years before I had a power surge and it was destroyed. It was truly an amazing cpu at the time I bought it, it was faster than some 8 cores. Obviously these will never be comparable to the current processors but it really was a good one.
