Similar to a i3 7100 in tests, and likely pair-able with a 1050 with no issues.

This little thing may be cheap, but it is a BEAST! It beats the 7th gen i5-7200, which is more expensive and "superior."

cheap but good processor for Low-HD gaming (with geforce 400+ cards its ultra cheap monster) 2 cores 4 threads is justifies himself price / quality
