Good deal on a last gen CPU. No integrated graphics so it will need to be paired with a GPU. Definitely less powerful and efficient than current Ryzens but good performance/$ so this would be a good start for a budget build.
I think it's worth noting that this is not being sold by Walmart.com - it's a third party seller which only has a single review/feedback and it's a 1 star review at that...
Good catch. Better luck with a reputable seller on eBay.
Pc experts...Will this work in a Gigabyte ga-h110n motherboard? Currently using an i3-6100. It's my general home pc for surfing net, etc, but is also a plex server. Thanks!!

This is not a deal and shouldn't even have been posted.

no - wrong chipset. For the most part you would be better off building/buying a newer system when jumping 3 generations.
Think of PC's as old minivans - it's just not worth it to keep throwing money at them. They only perform around the race track at the speed of their slowest component.

While it is the same socket, you should make sure that your HP proprietary motherboard can support this chip, because there is a slim chance it may not. While the 8th and 9th gen share the same chipsets, older boards that were originally designed with the 8th gen in mind had to have firmware upgrades to support the 9th gen chips.

I have an HP Pavilion 590-p0033 with intel i3-8100, 8GB ram and a GTX 1050 ti I use for 3d printing cad and gaming like rust, cs go . I just bought 16GB to upgrade the memory. Is upgrading my i3 to this worth $100?
For $100 bucks, might as well, just make sure your board does the 300 series support. Bios update may allow it. Its walmart though, so u can take back. People comparing to COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CHIPSETS are point less. If you don't want an overhaul but an upgrade, this is good spot.

I'm not 100% sure, but you may have to change your mb since your current cpu is a diff gen.. Best thing is to check intel and see if the choose of your mb is compatible..
But I'd say yes if you can upgrade and can afford it, without changing out the mob, it's worth the upgrade.

Thanks. Yea. Not interested in a completely new system. I just wanted to upgrade the cpu for better plex transcoding experience and for faster handbrake conversions. I intentionally built my pc for energy efficiency. It has no dedicated gpu. I thought maybe a processor with more cores than my i3-6100 would help matters.
