Yes it would, but only for games such as minecraft or Sims 3. Battlefield 3 may run on it (on low settings), but just to be sure I would go for a Intel Core i5 2500 or 2500k.
I7 hardcore gaming I5 semi-hardcore (casual) gaming I3 entry level gaming The I3 is a great processor but to run the latest games at medium to high i would recommend at least a I5 and a powerful graphics card.
difference between dual core and core i3
yes
i3 is a dual core. The i7 model is a quad core processor.
Intel Core i3 is faster even though they are both dual core processors. The i3 has multi-threading capability which lets it run two processes on one core versus one process per core the the Intel Core 2 duo. Bottom line: Intel core i3 is faster.
IS ACER CORE I3 BETTER HP CORE 13 BETTER, what is the difference in price as well as performance
Ofcourse Intel Core i3 is better because 2nd Gen Core i3 has speed of 2.49 GHz whereas AMD Athlon has 2.26 GHz
Intel Core i5 is a fast, responsive processor. It is not as good as Core i7, but better than Celtron, Core 2 Duo, and Core i3.
Intel i3 core can run Runescape, unfortunately however, antialiasing does not work with i3 graphics.
No. Core 2 is on a different socket type. The i3 will not fit into the core 2 socket, and vice versa.
i3 is better i think
i suggest you upgrade to a i5 or i7 processor as i3 is only dual core. Plus you will need a moderate amount of RAM
