Additionally this processor can handle light workstation, and even some light server workloads. Finally, with a gaming score of 81.8%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is very good.
Graphics	4.02% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics)
