Denis Stoikovski · May 19, 2014

So i checked my cpu i5 3350p in intel site and the status is end of life what does that mean? i need to change it or?

Denis Stoikovski :

It means that they are not manufacturing it any more. That CPU is fine for everything at the moment- it's just that Intel have recently released the new 4XXX range of CPUs so they are stopping making and selling the last get 3XXX range now.

Yep, as cdrkf said, it simply means the line of CPU is no longer being manufactured. Most CPUs hit "end of life" a couple years after they release, and still continue to run everything fine for several years after that. It's really just an arbitrary title that means the company has released something newer.

Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.

Thanks for the best answer

To be honest I think that 3350p would cope fine at higher resolution than that. No issue running at 1920 x 1080 for example. The key to playing at higher resolution is Graphics Card and Ram.

A recent core i5 (2000 seriese or newer) is plenty for all current games, you wouldn't gain much by upgrading even to the new 4770 i7.
