Additionally this processor can handle light workstation, and even some light server workloads. Finally, with a gaming score of 84.8%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is very good.
Graphics	61.7% is a good 3D score. This GPU can handle the majority of recent games at high resolutions and ultra detail levels.
