I wasn't informed about pentium having a gold line of processors; I assumed it was finished with the Pentium 4 around ten years ago. Can I run games such as Witcher 3 and RDR2 on these Gold processors? It appears they only have two cores but high GHz, almost similar to my i7 at GHz, with adjustments and graphics settings, can I still play?

In today's gaming scene, a dual-core processor isn't automatically the best pick for everyone. There are many comparisons available, especially if you're not aiming for top-tier performance like 100.144 Hz refresh rates.

You can enjoy esports or classic titles with satisfying outcomes. But don't anticipate perfect performance on anything that requires heavy CPU power; RDR2 and Witcher 3 may struggle with frame rates. Two cores often lead to noticeable lag in certain games as well.
