    Cheap and powerful enough for recent games

    A good value processor, it often reaches its maximum performance but supports recent games (Rocket League, GTA 5, Satisfactory...) in 2K without flinching and allows multi-tasking without problems. Great!

    Intel i5 10th generation

    It's a good mid-range processor that can be used without spending too much money. I for one think this processor is good enough for gamers, video and office fans.

    At the top!

    I recently completely overhauled my configuration and had hesitated between the I5 or the I7.
    Frankly, I have no regrets about opting for the I5, which is more affordable and has excellent gaming capabilities.
    For example, with my RTX 2060 the raytracing goes perfectly on Control in "high" and on GTA 5 everything runs at max (except that damn grass which is the only point below ultra)
    I used to have an I5 3570k which was starting to age well and clearly struggled on recent games. Now it's a whole new world to me!

    Old configuration :
    Intel I5 3570k
    16GB ram ddr3
    Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2060 6gb windforce oc rev 2.0
    Asus p8z77-v lx

    New configuration :
    Intel I5 10600K
    32GB ram ddr4
    Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2060 6gb windforce oc rev 2.0
    MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Carbon WiFi
