for me this CPU is a very good buy, i have been using it for more than 2 years i own a laptop with discrete card with this same CPU and it's amazing i didn't expect its graphics to be as smooth as this This. Regarding photoshop or other photo editing applications, it is very smooth. I recommend everyone to buy this CPU, especially for those who use photo editing software or game/animation design.

Pros

  • Very good for Photo editing
  • born for game/animation design
  • Built for Light weight gaming
  • Have 8 Core
  • Multitasking
  • Can Handle Some of Heavy weight Gaming

Cons

  • Only 2.10 Ghz
  • High Temperature

With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.
Small semiconductors provide better performance and reduced power consumption. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power. A small form factor allows more transistors to fit on a chip, therefore increasing its performance.
The thermal design power (TDP) is the maximum amount of power the cooling system needs to dissipate. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.
CPU temperature

105 °C

100 °C

If the CPU exceeds the maximum operating temperature then problems such as random resets can occur.
