Cons: None
Pros: Fast, Cheap, Reliable Comment:
If your looking to build a cheap gaming computer then go ahead and buy this i3. For the money it might seem cheaper to get an AMD processor of the same caliber but overall i would say this is one of the most overclockable C.P.U's on the market for the money |

Cons: Sort of expensive for a pretty basic chip. I would either go for a cheaper chip or just jump to an i5 instead of this at regular price.
Pros: Great chip, performs well. Affordable when it goes on sale. Low power consumption. Comment:
Chip works great but I tend to think it is a bit pricey, it plays HD video fine and does regular office tasks and internet browsing easily. Used it in a build for myself for 2 months before selling it to my brother, he seems to love it and is very satisfied with it. This is the ideal chip for non power users when it goes on sale or is discounted in a bundle with a motherboard. 4/5 stars because it isn't well priced. |

Cons: Sadly its only a Dual core.
Pros: Cheap, Good performance for a Office/Home Pc. Comment:
This is a great processor for day to day activates Skype calls, Internet browsing just the basic stuff. Does what is expected and if this is pared with a Decent Gpu it will run games fine at Medium settings. |

Very very satisfied with this processor from Intel. This i3 is a workhorse and lets me get things done efficiently without lag or problems. Very very impressed at how it can handle different tasks with relative ease. Did not expect that with the i3 line of Intel processors.Good bang for the buck! Recommended |

Cons: None, although some may find the Integrated GPU lacking, but for what it is intended this is an outstanding CPU.
Pros: Excellent Price!Hyper-threading, nice for some programs Low power consumption even when at full draw. Makes a decent light gaming machine as well Comment:
Bought this as a low budget family/home office PC. I was a bit concerned at first as some family do some light to moderate gaming, but this is more than up to the task. When looking at the price to performance This is excellent! |

Cons: none
Pros: Cheap, efficient, run cool Comment:
For the price you can't go wrong. Had to decide between it and a fx 4100 and realized that the HT overwelmed the 4 cores of the AMD one. Use to play LoL and some low power games. Paired with a 7770 and works fine! |

Cons: Integrated Graphics Processor(IGP) could be better
Pros: Decent processing performance for this price segmentMinimal power consumption even under heavy load Comment:
Offers better value in terms of price/performance from a gaming perspective. The IGP's alright for value oriented PC's but still behind from the competition. |

Pros: Super fast.Very impressive. Comment:
Really like it, very fast... The fan is a bit thick to fit in a Apex mITX case but the power supply sits on it OK. No noise from the fan! |

Pros: Budget cpu for gamingStill beats mid-high AMD in single treaded applications Comment:
If you want budget gaming CPU, look no further. |
Purchased for some systems that only require low CPU usage. All in all, it runs quite cool with the stock heat sink. It doesn't require anything fancy anyway. It's got some power to it when needed.The on chip graphics are nothing to slouch at even though there are other better options.All in all, a great option for a low power processor.
