Upgrade from AMD

This review is from: Intel Core i3-7300 Kaby Lake Dual-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 51W BX80677I37300 Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 630

Pros: - Hyperthreading

- Improved performance over i3-6300

- The stock fan keeps it very cool while remaining practically silent

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I would certainly recommend this CPU to anyone looking to upgrade but on a budget. I upgraded from an AMD FX 8350 and the performance boost was certainly noticeable. The main issue with the 8350 was frequent freeze frames in games. After I upgraded, I haven't gotten a single freeze frame. I've also noticed slightly higher average FPS in most games.
