Most users don't need to spend hundreds of dollar on a last generation i5 or i7 to run their applications and games. Buying an used third gen i5 is still one of the best choices for those who still have a LGA 1155 motherboard and want a powerful quad core CPU without having to spend much.

When I tested out the Intel Core i5 3470, it did okay but it wasn’t powerful enough to upgrade my device’s operating system to Windows 11 Pro because my 2012 Dell Optiplex 3010 was an unsupported device. So I’m going to have to get a stronger CPU and TPM chip just for this specific motherboard to support Windows 11 Pro. But thanks for the feedback.

Performs well and dirt cheap. For those who are looking to cash in on the Valheim craze (or any game, really) with a game server of their own - pair one of these with a cheap office surplus barebones machine and you've got a pretty great dedicated server for it.

Great Chip. Arrived fast and as promised. Works great. It’s not an unlocked chip but that doesn’t keep it from being a good one. I work and game on it and can stream Netflix while I do either without any bottle necks or stutters. I’d recommend it for anyone building on LGA 1155 that doesn’t need the “bleeding” edge and wants performance and reliability.

The processor is excellent, it works very well, it does not heat up and the performance is perfect.
