yeah i3 are decent for games, nothing wrong with them
Defending Pentium is a bit 2010

I am not defending the pentium. It is just that the statement that I replied to "A phenom 2 quad is absolutely better than a haswell dual core, even without overclock" is clearly an incorrect over-generalization.

I stand by the statement that it depends on the game, even if referring to the dual thread pentium, which the poster did not specify.

Edit: If he was only referring to GTA V, then yes, he is correct. Perhaps I misunderstood his post.
