is intel i5 good for gaming?

Solution


Well any i5 after the second generation is great, you don't need a 4th generation, although most people have 3rd or 4th gen if they are building a PC now. If it's a laptop, then the i5 is decent, but unless you have good graphics, you are only looking at a bare bones gaming computer.



Yeah, low clock speeds are the problem that you face when gaming on laptops.
