Intel i5-3210m is good for gaming?

[Marcos Lluberes Constanzo]

I have an 2 yo vaio, since I can't upgrade the cpu I would like to know if it will support new gen games while using an external video card adapter for handling graphics.

Its a 3rd gen. Cpu but most games want 4th gen. Cpu
Result in benchmark 4th gen. Intel cpu is best
If you afford a 4th gen. Cpu its better for you.. its mostly for new gen. Games

Best of luck

Very weak, it's worse then APUs really... and APUs are already pretty crap CPU-side.

Meh at best.
