  • Excellent price/performance ratio
  • Same HD4600 iGPU as the top-end Haswell CPUs

Reviewers Didn't Like

  • Can't be overclocked
  • Significantly slower than top-end Haswells on heavily threaded workloads

For gamers, the video card is the “gating factor” for performance, as long as your CPU is fast enough-and the Core i5-4430 is plenty fast enough. At $185.99 (ATD Computers), it’s much less expensive than the Core i7-4770K, and that’s money you can put into a higher performance video card or more memory.

Aucune révolution avec ce processeur qui se contente d'apporter un léger gain de performances du côté CPU et un gain plus conséquent côté puce graphique intégrée. Cette dernière n'est cependant pas toujours au niveau de la concurrence. Et si la...
