This processor is amazing. I did a lot of research on my son's computer. He is an avid Fortnite player, and likes, more like, loves performance!
But, gee whiz, I can't afford to pop $1000 every time new games come out? Well, the current gaming computer wasn't horrible, but it's been like 8 years since it was majorly upgraded, and it makes a whirlwind of a difference!
He was only getting around 40-50 FPS(frames per second) on the old motherboard/CPU, and he was in real need of an upgrade.
One thing that I forgot to mention is that a good video card is important too. He has an AMD 480 in his, so for about $150-200, you'll need to invest in a decent video card. Personally, I like the EVGA 1660, but the 1650 Super is a good one too for around $200 or less range.
Through my research, I found out that not only does the i5-9400F do well, but this i3-9100F does an amazing job at gaming as well.
So, for those who love Fortnite, you'll genuinely love this processor as well, and it's worth the upgrade. Granted, most likely you'll have to get another motherboard, but I got one here as well, and it worked flawlessly!
So, for about $75 or even less at times, you'll be astounded how well it performs. I did a benchmark on the processor within my sons computer, and it almost performed my older i7-3770K!!! Granted, that processor is about 10 years old now, and the i3 is only a few months old; Intel has done some major great jobs on their lower starting CPU'S!
Great job, Intel!
