It's good for a lot of basic tasks like browsing the internet, listening to music, playing 4k(30fps) videos, playing games at low resolutions(with integrated HD 620 Graphics).

With this CPU, You can even run fortnite on 720p low av 40-50 fps and this is pretty underrated. If you can satisfy with what you have then its good

This is an old processor but will play all demand medium games if coupled with a good graphics card.

 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 popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
