Is a Intel CORE i3 8th gen outdated? I am wondering because of the newer CPUs coming out.

Everything is dated the second you purchased it.

 

However i3 is at the bottom of the Intel computing barrel. An upgrade to i7 on the same motherboard would be a heck of an temporary upgrade.

If it's what you have and it performs well for you, then it's perfectly fine

 

That being said- in general terms, there is no reason to spend money on that chip

Simple. Does it do what you need? If yes (and you already have it) perfect. If not...

At me or quote me, I want to hear your opinion.

 

Hopefully anything I say is factually correct. Sorry for any mistakes in advanced.

The CPU came with the system.

what's your motherboard, what do you use it for, and how much do you want to spend

i5-14600KF // 120x38MM Cooler Master AIO // B760i // 64GB DDR5 6000 // PNY RTX 5070 // Cooler Master NCORE 100 Max // Cooler Master V SFX-850 Gold // UWQHD AOC Display
