Great CPU, does everything and more than I'd expect it to do given the fact that mine is in a Chromebook. This thing runs games great, at least when running Arch Linux. Chrome OS is terrible for gaming performance though so anyone with a Core i5 based Chromebook should mod their device and run a different linux distro that actually lets you use your gaming performance

It's actually quite snappy for a 15w CPU, using the web, spreadsheets and other light software feels just as fast as my 6700k.

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