https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=684&cmp[]=2 implies you'd get a pretty good speedup out of an upgrade, then. Single-thread performance is almost twice as good, and you'd double your cores (plus again doubling with HT). You'll up the power usage a bit, so make sure your cooling is up to it. On the other hand, performance per dollar is amazing for that Celeron at $21 for a new one :) The i5 I guessed at might be a good median there: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=684&cmp[]=2&cmp[]=822 No HT, and slower single-core, but still 1.5x your single-thread speed and double the cores. > On Fri, Mar 2, 2018 at 8:42 AM, Bill Weiss <pdxli...@houdini.spum.us> wrote: > > > Chuck Hast(wch...@gmail.com)@Fri, Mar 02, 2018 at 08:17:28AM -0600: > > > Folks, > > > I have a Shuttle SH67H3, it has an i5 CPU on it.
