One view of processors! At my job (a church) we have a room with computers for gaming. We have 2 intel laptops, AMD fx 8370, i7 4790K, one older but ok i5. In everyday use you wouldn't know a difference on any of the computers. In 3d with blender, even the laptops work ok. In gaming one notice that the laptops are slower, and the bottleneck isn't the cpu nyt gpu. Same with desktops, only the most demanding games require much and yhen mistly of the GPU. Fallout 4 runs fine with full HD graphics and max settings on the "old" 8370 when you have a good gpu (r9 390). If you play less demanding games WOW, WOT, DOTA then it doesn't matter what (midrange) processor you have.

Collector item. Just like the crappy Pine Trail (destroyer of Netbooks) or Cherry Trail (destroyer of Tablets) or the infamous VIA C3. And just the collection get them all.
