Model overview based on user reviews
The Intel Core i3 Kaby Lake series is generally well-received for its performance and affordability. Users appreciate that it does not overheat significantly and performs well in gaming scenarios like CS. However, there are some concerns about the lack of compatibility with newer socket versions, which limits upgrade options. While one user suggests considering alternatives like Ryzen due to pricing concerns, the processor is still regarded as a good model for its price range, especially for basic to moderate computing needs.

good processor performance not yet  alex bur: use Intel i3-7100 BOX few months |
don’t take it better take any ryzen I, as a user of this processor, have been using it for 2 years, the processor is normal, but the price of it is unjustified max 2000 UAH very little the fact that intel released a new socket 1151v2 and processors are not interchangeable VadosYT: use Intel i3-7100 BOX more than year |
Excellent processor cheap powerful Performance and does not overheat significantly no use Intel Core i3 Kaby Lake few months |

Strong middle peasant
Intel's most powerful integrated desktop graphics is the HD 630 with 24 compute modules. Even more powerful graphics — Intel Iris Plus 640 and 650 with 48 modules — are used only in ultrabooks. The junior processor with the HD 630 is de jure the Pentium G4600. But the Core i3 has an advantage over the Pentium in the form of an additional 300 MHz frequency and a promising AVX instruction set.
Two by two is four
The Core i3-7100 has only two physical cores, but thanks to Hyper-Threading technology, data is processed in four threads. It supports the new DDR4-2400 MHz RAM standard, but to operate at this frequency, you will need a motherboard with a chipset no worse than the B250.
Thinking about tomorrow
Despite the fact that the integrated Intel HD 630 graphics is a third weaker than the competing AMD Radeon R7, the purchase of the Core i3-7100 still looks more promising compared to the AMD A10 family of processors. Intel Kaby Lake processor cores are significantly more powerful than AMD Kaveri, and it will be possible to upgrade Core i3 to Core i7 in the future without any problems. We recommend buying for those who plan to sit out integration for a short time, and then buy a discrete graphics card.
