also i3 in 2017 has quad core, which makes it an i5 without the i5 price tag.
New i3's, yes. The one he has will perform within a few percent of a kaby lake pentium I'd imagine, which is just fine for low end gaming these days.
Also tho, new i5's are hex core, plus more cache so still better single thread performance.
