Awesome value CPU! Huge overclock potential!
This i5 as the best value CPU on the market when it came out. The Skylake architecture was leaps and bounds beyond its predecessor and runs super cool.
I recently"upgraded to a i7 7700k and am disappointed with the i7 entirely. There literally no useful performance gain compared to this i5 at 4.5ghz which is easily achieved and it costs about £120 less!
I wish I kept this and spent the extra money on a better GPU.
I think the only time it will be worth upgrading is after PS5 is released as then development will be optimised better for hexacore and above.
But for now, a fast quad core is still the sweet spot!Read full review...
