£10 vs 10p CPU For Gaming

This is a 10 pence CPU - that’s £0.1 - and this is a £10 CPU. I want to know how terrible a 10p CPU is, and how much more performance you’ll get spending 100 times more money. Let’s meet the contenders, shall we? Our budget option - well… let’s face it both are budget options, but the most budget option possible… That is an Intel i3-4150. This is a decade old CPU, a Haswell part that was $117 new, but a decade later is just ten pence at CeX. It’s sporting just two cores - although it does feature hyperthreading for four total threads, and runs at 3.5GHz with a 54W TDP. The comparatively premium chip is an i5-4690K, a Devil’s Canyon CPU which is actually a slightly older part, despite actually being a refresh of the “4th generation” chips - I know, Intel invited me to their offices to show us these chips when new! God that was a long time ago now.. I’ve been doing this for nearly 13 years now… Anyway, this is a quad core without hyperthreading that boosts up to 3.9GHz, with an 88W TDP, and an original price tag of $243. Nowadays though it’s readily available for just £10 at CeX. Depreciation stings, doesn’t it?
