I mean it is an absolute potato CPU and won't do much but it can get basic daily tasks done such as web browsing, paying bills, and writing documents. It takes a long five seconds just to open Chrome or Windows Explorer. The only game that would probably be playable without too much lag on this CPU is Roblox. If you still have this CPU, it is definitely time to upgrade to an i3 or a much newer Pentium unless if you are pinching pennies.

ALL FAQs »

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
