What customers say about "Details"

Intel Pentium Gold G5400 Desktop Processor

It's very good for the money.
You'll see solid performance under moderate workloads.
It will do the job. Easy to install.
It is performing a lot better than I expected for a 2 core processor.
The processor is a little outdated for some games.

Intel Core i3-9100F Desktop Processor

This is a good low budget build processor.
It works good with 16 GB RAM.
For IT guy running Hadoop and Python and Machine Learning classes. This is more than enough to do that.
Good price, good quality. I like it.
There is no graphics included in the CPU so you'll need a graphics card.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"

Intel Pentium Gold G5400 Desktop Processor

This thing runs buttery smooth, including for 1080p gaming. We have it paired with a RX 560 GPU.
I'm running four to five virtual machines and a time and it has no problem.
A good product. It won’t win any awards for speed but is a good middle tier processor for general use.
I actually using this product for a personal NAS server. The processor is great for its purpose.
A bit underpowered, even for the price. Struggles with even moderate with loads.

Intel Core i3-9100F Desktop Processor

Perfect to get if you plan on using a dedicated graphics card and don't need or want to worry about overclocking.
This is a "Turbo" CPU as well which saves you electricity when you're just doing low priority tasks.
This is the best value for money you may find right at the moment in any CPUs.
I really recommend this CPU over any 6-8 cores i5s and i7s as you will not see and feel the difference in any office, game application.
The only negative is no quick sync is available for video transcoding.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"

Intel Pentium Gold G5400 Desktop Processor

I had no issues running my games with a consistent 60+ fps, 1080p high/ultra settings.
This processor is amazing when paired with fast SSD and 16 GB RAM.
Operates cool, has enough horsepower for 4K YouTube and chews little power when used as intended.
Fan is somewhat noisy.
Only 2 cores so it will lack performance in games but good for light work.

Intel Core i3-9100F Desktop Processor

If you are using an add-on graphics card, this is a great value.
If you want to build the absolute cheapest gaming PC with decent performance, look no other than this CPU.
CPU runs really cool. It sustains 4GHZ all the time and never once did it hit higher than 62C.
For AutoCAD, this processor is ideal, the performance per core is comparable to older models, and there is no overpayment. Great memory support.
There is very little cache for workload on this CPU.
