It's still a decent dual core CPU that could crush daily tasks like web browsing and word processing. According to Microsoft, it can meet the system requirements for Windows 11 so this can be a cheaper way to have something that officially supports Windows 11. It is also very power efficient with a TDP of only 25 watts so you could throw this in a mini-PC or a PC with a smaller power supply for a basic build. It can probably run Minecraft at a playable 20-30 FPS. This CPU is still pretty basic and slow, but a huge step up from the Pentium.

 Frequently Asked Questions

 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.
