Despite its good single core score this processor isn't appropriate for workstation use due to its relatively weak multi-core performance. Finally, with a gaming score of 55.6%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is average.

OS VersionAlthough Windows 10 is not the most recent version of Windows, it remains a great option.
