Intel® processor numbers are not a measure of performance. Processor numbers differentiate features within each processor family, not across different processor families.
All processors are lead-free (per EU RoHS directive July 2006) and halogen free (residual amounts of halogens are below November 2007 proposed IPC/JEDEC J-STD-709 standards).
All processors support Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT-x).

Buy it!
By far, best bang for the bucket mid-tier CPU you can get! Worth paying the little more for integrated graphics for when you need to add an aftermarket GPU.

Bang for buck
There might be better processors in the 13th gen, but for its time, it was the best speed per dollar value. It performs like a champ in all of the AAA games I've thrown at it.
