I looked up about a 30 or 40 different benchmarks comparing various i3, i5 and i7 and different generations of each.  Believe it or not the i5-4670 is not that much slower than an 8th or 9th gen i5 or even i7. I was really surprised, I knew computing speed had hit a wall, I did not know it was that dramatic. Seriously other than computer games this $250 tiny pc runs just about as well as my $1400 i9 gaming desktop. Don't be brainwashed into spending a grand on something new unless you need it for something specific, get one of these (with an ssd).
