Excellent upgrade for old mini PCs
2 of 2 found this helpful I purchased this CPU for an old Dell OptiPlex 3020M I was given. I bought at a pretty "bad" time, so I ended up shelling out a cool $45. These are now easy to get for just under $40, if not even less.
That said, I'm happy with the upgrade. This computer previously had an i3-4150T, which has only two physical cores. Even four cores are starting to become a little cramped in some applications, but that and the integrated graphics are still very comfortable for a family computer.
The installation is as simple as any other processor: open up the computer, remove and clean the cooler and old CPU, place the new CPU, apply thermal paste, and reassemble the computer. Due to the reduced clocks the T processors feature, temperatures are very comfortable. With my fairly light use of Microsoft Edge (the new Chromium version) with 10 or so tabs open and Discord, temperatures are always in the low to mid 40s C. I've found that to be fairly impressive given the form factor of the computer this is inside.
Overall I'm extremely happy with the results of this processor, even if I overpaid a little. I would suggest getting this over a similar i7 (4765T or 4785T) because those are currently well over double the price. Hyperthreading is a nice advantage, but it's not big and is definitely not worth an extra $60 or more.
