The good old days. My sister still has her 2nd generation intel i3 2120 pc that she got in 2011. She is planning to replace it after she gets her first job
I had this exact CPU...a century ago. Back then dual core was more than enough for gaming, all you needed was high frequency, and this CPU had it. Also, it was very cheap. I was playing WoW Cataclysm on this beauty :)
that cpu when it's using intergrated graphics and an hdd to start windows can't even run itself, it gets like 10 fps in terraria with a 1440x900 screen and everything lowest... It's amazing how much a difference an ssd and a gpu can make to an old cpu that's near free at this point
@@zeyshy it's like 8€ used, the cpu is 10 years old and a dual core... I found an i5 2nd gen for 14€, but that i7 is just way too expensive, it's like 95€, who the hell buys stuff like that for that price?
I have (and use) an old laptop with a second gen i3. Never really gets to stretch its tiny legs due to either thermal constraints or the graphics of the machine holding it back. For those of you wondering, it was cleaned roughly 6 months ago. And I got it to throttle playing minecraft, right after I cleaned it.
The latest version of Minecraft is a very memory and CPU intensive game, especially Java edition, the more they add the less optimized it is. If you can, I would recommend trying Minecraft for Windows 10 which I have noticed to run way better on older hardware if you manage to optimize Windows 10 enough. It may not fix your thermal problems though, I'm assuming when you cleaned it you also replaced the thermal paste as well, but even then that only gets you so far.
Still using the i3-2100 and gt620. Valorant runs 60+ but stutters a lot and minecraft runs much better with optifine and lower settings. It's really nice to see someone testing older stuff and not only latest and greatest PC components.
Love these videos, i keep watching vids to see how the performance on gpus are and i actually got a 2gb gddr5 gt 730 to run without crashing at +260 on memory and core overclock
Sometimes the hardware that is currently available is too weak to fully allow the user to experience the game in the way the developers ambitioned. So sometimes the dev's create a game where modern hardware can only play at the minimum specs with the hope that future hardware will be able to play the game the way it was actually meant to be played. An example of this is trying to make a game with epic medieval battles where each army is fielding hundreds of troops at its rival. Such a project would leave the game essentially unplayable on an old dual core i3, and barely playable on a quadcore i5 and i7. But then a few years later, cpu's became much more powerful and each cpu line suddenly had more cores and threads (i3 became 4 cores 8 threads, i5 became 6 cores 12 threads, i7 became 8 cores 16 threads). These new cpu's would then allow the project to finally be played the way it was meant to be played (hundreds of warriors fighting on the battlefield at a smooth 60fps+ with no stuttering).
I've been using this cpu for 10 years! I used to have i3-2100 but it over heated and broke Then i used a i3-2120. Since that day I've never upgraded my pc, it runs unknowingly well for such an old pc, with its hd 2000 graphics it is still good for light gaming like minecraft etc! Thanks for reviewing this cpu!
I actually just tested Half-life 1 on an i3-2100 with integrated graphics and it would run 200-300 fps with the framerate unlocked, but as soon as I turned on my flashlight it dropped to 15-30 fps mind you I was playing in 640x480. Somehow playing Minecraft or doing any type of gaming on integrated graphics this old doesn't sound viable, especially when my test was on a game from 1998. I then installed a GT 710 and the issue went away so there you go.

its kinda sad seeing the state of chips like this one nowadays, especially this particular one, which i rocked for 8 years before swapping to the r5 3600
Any Sandy Bridge video is a good video. I pulled an i3-2120 out of a Dell Inspiron 620 and replaced it with a Xeon E3-1245. Kinda sad to see the Sandy Bridge platform succumb to obsolescence because it was such a great platform for so many years. The old 2600k can now be found for $30 on ebay, and the i7-2600 for about $25, which are still serviceable. I've upgraded a few Dell Inspiron and Optiplex systems with a Sandy Bridge CPU, and Dell never wrote a BIOS update that makes Ivy Bridge compatible with these Sandy Bridge systems.
I still use my i7 2637m GT540m laptop for everyday internet surfing and oldschool gaming, I love trying to get modern games running on it for a laugh and your vids definitely help when it comes to what setings to turn down. Don't worry, I've got a gaming PC but I love this little laptop (Alienware M11x)
Too many beautiful memories have come across my mind. It was my first ''gaming'' CPU when I was 12 years old back on 2012. I rocked it for like four years maybe? Then I quited gaming and barely touched my PC until last year. On april I bought a new gaming PC and today, actually right now I just finished cleaning up my old i3 sandy bridge to give it to my parents as they not gonna need a master race, lmao. However, it was so nice to remeber those (g)old days, men. Time flies 😪😪😪
I have this in my system right now actually, hopefully that changes soon with an i5-6500 Interesting how low the FPS was in CS:GO there. I have the i3 paired with a GT 1030 on slightly higher settings and I was getting better FPS
I am currently using this same i3-2120 and I just saw your video get uploaded, so I came to watch it as I wanted to know which games can run 'smoothly' with this processor. Also I am using a Geforce 210 GPU but I want to find out how to enable/disable the iGPU (Intel HD 2000) as pairing these two gives very bad frames in like CS:GO; it doesn't even stay consistent on 30fps and stutters like hell. Thanks for uploading good content as always.......Much support.
That was my i3!! In pandemic I had an old notebook from 2010 with an Intel i3-m350 with 2C, 4T 2,28ghz with a dedicated GPU AMD Ati Radeon HD 5000 series with 512vram but... it was the FIRST generation of i3 Intel
Is amazing how much of an improvement those sockets get from an i5 and an i7 instead of a i3. A i5 3570 would rush all those games at 60 fps easily! , investing in a higher tier cpu back in the day was a real deal, nowdays you are fine with an i3 12th
My parents have a Mac all in one desktop/monitor with one of these powering it. We upgraded it with 8GB of RAM and an SSD, and it still does great as a web browsing machine.
I5 7400 also runs similar like this. Every game at around 45-60fps. It is also 3.3ghz 4c4t cpu. I paired i5 7400 with rx6800. Thinking to buy new amd cpu. Looks like amd is not going to launch new cpu any time soon.
@@zWORMzGaming yeah, I just started streaming and it’s a bit too much for everything all at once. E sports and older games, no reason at all for new hardware just for performance. Imo.
I have a i7 2640m (2cores and 4 threads) with a GeForce gtx 560ti on e-gpu and fortnite run in 1080p performance mode at 60fps (lock fps) without any freeze it's very impressive...
If you have i3 2nd gen or 3rd gen, get the i5. These run much better in semi modern games. The prices for the i5s are quite low. Eg here in Australia the i3-2100 is around $10 AUD and the i5 is around $20 AUD (base models). The jump from 2C/4T might not sound much but the 4C/4T are a definitely big step up. If you have a Z board and can find a i5-2500K or i5-3570K that can do 4.2-4.3Ghz with no issues then you will be totally ok playing previous get A+ titles at lower resolutions (maybe not Cyberpunk).. Maybe do a vid and how a base i5 would do. something like i5-2400 or i5-2500 non K. Also an interesting vid would be to play these games on something from the 4th gen.. like a i3-4160. I have not tested that setup but it might be good for a video.
I got an i5 760 with an rx580..... I would love to see you do some tests in them. I currently play cyberpunk, red dead 2 and other games... actually enjoying it with no stutters. I enjoy your tests so would like to see you test it.
I just got this cpu for 2$. Pair it with a h61 itx mainboard I bought online for 15$ to make a mini media PC. It still pretty capable for basic task like browsing the web, watching youtube and movies.
Zwormz, I know you are not gonna answer thid comment, but my amd ryzen 5 5600g + rtx 3060 still stutters in minecraft just like THIS. How? Well, you are a very good youtuber and I have seen all of your epic videos.
Maybe test out the cpu with a GeForce 7025/NForce 630A...I've never seen a GPU slower than that ..even g100 would've been a beast in front of it...and i used that pc for like 7 years 2007-2014
I had the exacly same cpu, then i got tired of it and made a 200$ gaming pc - i buyed a mobo socket 1150 (50$) - an rx 580 (80-100$) - 16 ram ( i used my old ram from my old pc) -i5 4th gen (20$) - psu 20+4 atx and 8 pin for the gpu (40 dollars) - an ssd and hdd from my old pc It can run 40-50 fps on rdr2 on medium-high (The prices are from the used market and this are the prices in romania, make sure u buy them from someone with good reviews or test them first)
I like your content zwormz gaming Well I hope next you will try the RTX 2070 GPU if you have it but if you don't maybe you could test the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU 🙏
Reminds me the old days with that old apu i had constant stopping so annoying xD And omg i forgot i had to wait for thesee loading times this video reminded me xD i was staring at the square loading back then xD But i was excited to play mc even with those terrible stutters i was playing 2 chunks and even fancy graphics were giving me more fps than fast? Lol oh gosh the memories from this video are coming back :D
this cpu have been used by my aunt in 2011 as well but it's the 2100. i remember using it and this is exactly how it performs. she built it for around $500 which may look overpriced but pc components in my country are very expensive even until now. that system literally only has the i3 and a single stick of 2gb ddr3 ram lol.
I was using a sandy bridge i3 2350M from 2014-2021 it was in an Asus laptop ! That thing was a beast i was playing old games the likes of MS Flight simulator X, CS Source, Pes 2012 and some old battlefield titles. Also i was running Adobe premiere 2017/Lightroom and Photoshop. I gave up the laptop and upgraded to an Asus Ryzen 4500u in 2021 because as it was aging the screen bleeding got worse and some keys in the keyboard started to fail. But the internals just worked fine !
I'm still rocking on my i3-2120 w/ its iGPU, 8 GB DDR3, 120 GB SSD on a Colorful H61 mini ITX mobo as my daily use computer. No games on this one though. I don't feel upgrading the unit as it's way2x more than enough for my current application.

I had this CPU in combination with GTS 430 and... I was playing Minecraft on 1280x1024 with maximum 40 FPS on...normal maps. And on flat maps, the situation was better, with 60-70 FPS in general.
my friend who knows hardly anything about computers just got 1070 from his uncle who didn't use it anymore and said that the games run pretty bad so I came to his house to take a look, we run some games and they were stuttering like crazy, opened task manager and he was running i3 4th gen with 8gb of ddr 3 set to 666mhz, wasn't to happy when I said to him that he will need to upgrade nearly everything in his computer
Well, he could upgrade the RAM to 16gb and CPU only if he goes with an i7 4790, i7 4770 or Xeon equivalent,, games will run much better. Also, the RAM is running at 1333mhz, it just shows up as half speed sometimes, it's definitely not at 666mhz :) Idk if an upgrade to a newer platform with a recent i3 and selling the old parts would be less expensive though, could be
I actually still use this cpu, I didn't expect it to do pretty well in this video. I'm guessing the only reason my pc is slow is my geforce 210 and 4 gigs of ram.

its kinda sad seeing the state of chips like this one nowadays, especially this particular one, which i rocked for 8 years before swapping to the r5 3600
Yeah gaming resource demands went so high .
10:17 You defiantly raised your hands and said to everyone below "Thank you, thank you!"
I watch your videos daily thanks for awesome content😁
Next time please do a vid about a i5 4590 with its igpu (hd 4600 graphics) also great vid Kryzzp!
Nice video bro always support you
The minecraft bit reminds me of playing it on library computers in school.
Any Sandy Bridge video is a good video. I pulled an i3-2120 out of a Dell Inspiron 620 and replaced it with a Xeon E3-1245.
Kinda sad to see the Sandy Bridge platform succumb to obsolescence because it was such a great platform for so many years. The old 2600k can now be found for $30 on ebay, and the i7-2600 for about $25, which are still serviceable.
I've upgraded a few Dell Inspiron and Optiplex systems with a Sandy Bridge CPU, and Dell never wrote a BIOS update that makes Ivy Bridge compatible with these Sandy Bridge systems.
I've still got an i3 4170 and for the games I play with my GTX 750 it works just fine. Modern titles are a complete no go though
I had one of these in 2011, was a great cou back then
I love watching ur vids when im eating :> keep upp Kryssp
I'm amazed it's not even close to being obsolete. I can still achieve daily work tasks with an intel core duo 2 alone.
Love ur Videos! Greeting from Germany :))
great video
still waiting for the core 2 quad and the core 2 extreme series
Eu usava um i3 2310M com Intel HD ghaphics 3000 de Notebook. Rodava muito bem a calculadora. 🖒. Nice video. 🇧🇷
"rodava muito bem a calculadora" KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK FEZ A MINHA MADRUGADA ESSE COMENTÁRIO KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Kkkkkkkkkkkkk vsf
Finally seeing my old bad boy alive again xd
Nice to see old systems and CPUs tested here in my best channel ❤️👍
It's actually crazy how well optimized Valorant is. I run it with intel UHD 630 at 1080p and I get around 75 fps average.
I've played a lot of WoW on the UHD 630, with an i7 7700, very nice little GPU.
I am thinking to buy 13 12100 uhd 730 I dont want to play games only some light games like minecraft etc and do coding. Is it okay
@@Pram6969 It will run Minecraft on low setting without any problems. And you can always buy GPU if you want to play other games
Settings???🤔
@@buymeplease 1080p low everything
my spare pc i dont use anymore since 6 years ago i have this in it thanks for this!
Finally i can play some forza on my i3 2120 thanks for testing this
I still use my i7 2637m GT540m laptop for everyday internet surfing and oldschool gaming, I love trying to get modern games running on it for a laugh and your vids definitely help when it comes to what setings to turn down. Don't worry, I've got a gaming PC but I love this little laptop (Alienware M11x)
Bro it is giving me vibes of my old pc with i5 650 processor 🥲. Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥️..
You really deserve an Oscar by your thumbnail.
Thanks! Glad you like it 😁
Too many beautiful memories have come across my mind. It was my first ''gaming'' CPU when I was 12 years old back on 2012. I rocked it for like four years maybe? Then I quited gaming and barely touched my PC until last year. On april I bought a new gaming PC and today, actually right now I just finished cleaning up my old i3 sandy bridge to give it to my parents as they not gonna need a master race, lmao. However, it was so nice to remeber those (g)old days, men. Time flies 😪😪😪
I have this in my system right now actually, hopefully that changes soon with an i5-6500
Interesting how low the FPS was in CS:GO there. I have the i3 paired with a GT 1030 on slightly higher settings and I was getting better FPS
Lower end GPU's do better since less bottleneck
It depends of map and if you have already played one or two games , that way it becomes more consistent with the fps
MY Great Man
I am currently using this same i3-2120 and I just saw your video get uploaded, so I came to watch it as I wanted to know which games can run 'smoothly' with this processor. Also I am using a Geforce 210 GPU but I want to find out how to enable/disable the iGPU (Intel HD 2000) as pairing these two gives very bad frames in like CS:GO; it doesn't even stay consistent on 30fps and stutters like hell.
Thanks for uploading good content as always.......Much support.
What are your computers specifications?(Aside from the CPU and Graphics deceleration unit)
That was my i3!! In pandemic I had an old notebook from 2010 with an Intel i3-m350 with 2C, 4T 2,28ghz with a dedicated GPU AMD Ati Radeon HD 5000 series with 512vram but... it was the FIRST generation of i3 Intel
Kryzzp is the the best guy. His graphics card and cpu testing are amazing.i like your all gpu and cpu test. You are amazing.
Thank you buddy 💪😁
Agreed
Is amazing how much of an improvement those sockets get from an i5 and an i7 instead of a i3. A i5 3570 would rush all those games at 60 fps easily! , investing in a higher tier cpu back in the day was a real deal, nowdays you are fine with an i3 12th
Certainly not 60FPS "easily".
I can't get a solid 60 FPS in cyberpunk and other recent AAA games with an i7 4770K (4.4Ghz).
I love these videos with low-end cpus/gpus
13:22 Wth, that was a headshot. The stutter actually helped me...
Me, playing on a stutter-mess machine:
-First time?
Very Nice Bro Keep It Up
My parents have a Mac all in one desktop/monitor with one of these powering it. We upgraded it with 8GB of RAM and an SSD, and it still does great as a web browsing machine.
I5 7400 also runs similar like this. Every game at around 45-60fps. It is also 3.3ghz 4c4t cpu.
I paired i5 7400 with rx6800. Thinking to buy new amd cpu. Looks like amd is not going to launch new cpu any time soon.
You managed to put bob invisible on red ded redemption 2. That bug was realy fun to watch.
Can you test the i5-3570 next? It’s old, but it can game pretty good considering its age. I’m getting around 100FPS in GTA V on very high lol
I actually just upgraded from 2nd gen. I think I may keep it however
It's still alright for browsing the web and lighter games :)
@@zWORMzGaming yeah, I just started streaming and it’s a bit too much for everything all at once. E sports and older games, no reason at all for new hardware just for performance. Imo.
I have a i7 2640m (2cores and 4 threads) with a GeForce gtx 560ti on e-gpu and fortnite run in 1080p performance mode at 60fps (lock fps) without any freeze it's very impressive...
currently watching with this processor
If you have i3 2nd gen or 3rd gen, get the i5. These run much better in semi modern games. The prices for the i5s are quite low. Eg here in Australia the i3-2100 is around $10 AUD and the i5 is around $20 AUD (base models). The jump from 2C/4T might not sound much but the 4C/4T are a definitely big step up. If you have a Z board and can find a i5-2500K or i5-3570K that can do 4.2-4.3Ghz with no issues then you will be totally ok playing previous get A+ titles at lower resolutions (maybe not Cyberpunk).. Maybe do a vid and how a base i5 would do. something like i5-2400 or i5-2500 non K. Also an interesting vid would be to play these games on something from the 4th gen.. like a i3-4160. I have not tested that setup but it might be good for a video.
I got an i5 760 with an rx580..... I would love to see you do some tests in them. I currently play cyberpunk, red dead 2 and other games... actually enjoying it with no stutters. I enjoy your tests so would like to see you test it.
it's now good for retro gaming to anything around 2016
Hey Kryzzp! Ur content is amazing, you never fail to entertain us with your videos!
3:14 NAHHH I NEVER SEEN A CPU FREEZE/LOCK UP A GAME LIKE THAT AND TEXTURE STREAM UP LIKE THAT TOO! 👀😳🙀 (Gave me a heart attack)
It's beautiful 🤣
I just got this cpu for 2$. Pair it with a h61 itx mainboard I bought online for 15$ to make a mini media PC. It still pretty capable for basic task like browsing the web, watching youtube and movies.
when i was a teenager i used to play gta 5 on a 4th gen i3 with hd4400 graphics. had to play at 800x600 and would still be lucky to hit 30.
Whenever he says "welcome to the sunday video" Me be like what it's monday tomorrow 🥲 weeks passing by very much faster
True 🙃
Monday is my day off though, it has always been the worst day of the week so now that I make my own schedule I chose to have Mondays off 🤣
@@zWORMzGaming yes man it is worst of the week🙂🥲 but i am on vacation 😎 now i can watch your videos 😛
Zwormz, I know you are not gonna answer thid comment, but my amd ryzen 5 5600g + rtx 3060 still stutters in minecraft just like THIS. How? Well, you are a very good youtuber and I have seen all of your epic videos.
Maybe test out the cpu with a GeForce 7025/NForce 630A...I've never seen a GPU slower than that ..even g100 would've been a beast in front of it...and i used that pc for like 7 years 2007-2014
Hey nice stuff u doin.
Maybe u could try out the I5 2500K in Modern Games now
I had the exacly same cpu, then i got tired of it and made a 200$ gaming pc
- i buyed a mobo socket 1150 (50$)
- an rx 580 (80-100$)
- 16 ram ( i used my old ram from my old pc)
-i5 4th gen (20$)
- psu 20+4 atx and 8 pin for the gpu (40 dollars)
- an ssd and hdd from my old pc
It can run 40-50 fps on rdr2 on medium-high
(The prices are from the used market and this are the prices in romania, make sure u buy them from someone with good reviews or test them first)
kryzzp how you ever thought of using Teardown or the Titanic For Honor and Glory demo for your benchmarks?
No, just veca they're not that popular!
I am waiting for this , its going to be fun.
Pair this with 1060 u get shocked
It runs literally the same as with the 1080ti
I like your content zwormz gaming
Well I hope next you will try the RTX 2070 GPU if you have it but if you don't maybe you could test the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU 🙏
There is the word of "Sandy Ojisan" (Uncle Sandy) in Japan. It means people who stick to Sandy Bridge CPU for many years...
Reminds me the old days with that old apu i had constant stopping so annoying xD And omg i forgot i had to wait for thesee loading times this video reminded me xD i was staring at the square loading back then xD But i was excited to play mc even with those terrible stutters i was playing 2 chunks and even fancy graphics were giving me more fps than fast? Lol oh gosh the memories from this video are coming back :D
this cpu have been used by my aunt in 2011 as well but it's the 2100. i remember using it and this is exactly how it performs. she built it for around $500 which may look overpriced but pc components in my country are very expensive even until now. that system literally only has the i3 and a single stick of 2gb ddr3 ram lol.
Bad memories with this cpu, but i can still have fun with him.
This paired with an RTX 3090 Ti would be perfect.
true. You provide him with the 3090ti he will do the rest.
i like ur videos a much
I was using a sandy bridge i3 2350M from 2014-2021 it was in an Asus laptop ! That thing was a beast i was playing old games the likes of MS Flight simulator X, CS Source, Pes 2012 and some old battlefield titles. Also i was running Adobe premiere 2017/Lightroom and Photoshop. I gave up the laptop and upgraded to an Asus Ryzen 4500u in 2021 because as it was aging the screen bleeding got worse and some keys in the keyboard started to fail. But the internals just worked fine !
I'm still rocking on my i3-2120 w/ its iGPU, 8 GB DDR3, 120 GB SSD on a Colorful H61 mini ITX mobo as my daily use computer. No games on this one though. I don't feel upgrading the unit as it's way2x more than enough for my current application. Got a Ryzen 5 3600x, 32 GB DDR4, 2 TB SSD (2 x 1 TB) and RX 5700XT (8GB) on an Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4 mobo on my gaming PC and i don't feel upgrading this also for now.
I had this CPU in combination with GTS 430 and... I was playing Minecraft on 1280x1024 with maximum 40 FPS on...normal maps. And on flat maps, the situation was better, with 60-70 FPS in general.
im still using i3 2120 in 2022 paired with Radeon HD 5770, you know its kinda fine
Actually the 4th gen was epic
Haswell was great indeed, first intel CPU I bought was from that generation :)
This is what happens when you win GPU in a giveaway 😂
Good one 🤣🤣🤣
my friend who knows hardly anything about computers just got 1070 from his uncle who didn't use it anymore and said that the games run pretty bad so I came to his house to take a look, we run some games and they were stuttering like crazy, opened task manager and he was running i3 4th gen with 8gb of ddr 3 set to 666mhz, wasn't to happy when I said to him that he will need to upgrade nearly everything in his computer
Well, he could upgrade the RAM to 16gb and CPU only if he goes with an i7 4790, i7 4770 or Xeon equivalent,, games will run much better.
Also, the RAM is running at 1333mhz, it just shows up as half speed sometimes, it's definitely not at 666mhz :)
Idk if an upgrade to a newer platform with a recent i3 and selling the old parts would be less expensive though, could be
I actually still use this cpu, I didn't expect it to do pretty well in this video. I'm guessing the only reason my pc is slow is my geforce 210 and 4 gigs of ram.
Yeah your cpu is the strongest in your build so you could get a gtx 750 and 8gb ram then your pc would be pretty good
My encoding PC is rocking an i7 3770. Every time I see it I get kind of sad that I don't have the time or ideas to make any videos anymore. It hasn't seen use in a while.
Great video ,can u make one with an fx 8350 amd cpu ,Very interest to see the result :)
I have this cpu and it runs well on old games :D
watching this on my i3 2nd gen cpu in 2024 on 1080p no lag Just wow
Oh hey! We just talked about this on the 4th gen vid. I would have sent you my 2130.
damn my first cpu
