You're comparing a two threads CPU with a four threads CPU ...Keep in mind that BF4 is one of very few games that can take advantage of multiple threads
Hyper-threading will bring up to 50% more performance for Dual Core CPU ( 30~50% ) and i3 4330 price is 2 times as much as the Pentium . This isn't a fair comparison

@DJBarry004
There is no Unlocked Haswell i3

Quote: it outperformed a stock 4770K and 4670K in every game

I doubt it . Most games support quad core CPU , only a few games like SCII are stuck with dual core CPU

@OP if you've already chosen i3 , you should not pair Z87/Z97 with it (unless you want to waste money for nothing) . B85 or H81 will do . B85 is meant for small business server , B85 >H81
