Pros
- Crushes everyday office and web tasks

Verdict
Our verdict on the Core i3-10325
A slightly warmed-over 2021 quad-core with decent single-thread speed but no upgrade path beyond its aging platform.
Get it if you need a cheap, reliable office or home PC chip that runs cool and quiet on an older LGA1200 board. Skip it if you plan to game seriously or multitask heavily—look for more cores and threads instead.
Buy it if…
- You are building a budget office PC for spreadsheets and web browsing.
- You need a cheap upgrade for an older LGA1200 motherboard.
- You want a low-power CPU for a basic home server or media box.
