Intel Pentium G4400 or Intel i3-6100?

[gumbob3]

Building a new PC to replace our current piece of crap. We have a 10+ year old Dell with an AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 70gb HDD, etc. For a new build, what would be the best option? G4400, or i3-6100? Obviously the G4400 is cheaper, but the i3 is faster. So is the i3 worth almost double the cost for the same amount of cores and slightly higher clock speed? Thanks!!

Intel i3-6100 for sure.

Yes it's worth it.

I would go with the i3. It has hyperthreading, better graphics, and some of the newer instruction extensions. It will have a longer usable life than the G4400.
