Similarly one may ask, can I play i5 games on i3?
Usually, when a game specifies i5, it means desktop CPU, so it will be 4 core 4 thread CPU (unless 8th gen, then its 6 c, 6t. ). When you take laptop CPUs they are cutdown versions of desktop CPUs. If you are fine with 720p low or even 480p low, the game just might work on laptop i3.
Beside above, can PUBG run on i3 processor? Yes, an i3 9100 will run PUBG, an i3 8350K will run PUBG. A core i3 4170 may run the game. The game says it needs at least an i5 4430, and while the 4170 has a higher clock, it has only 2 physical cores without hyperthreading. This is important because PUBG isn't really a toaster-friendly game.
Thereof, is Intel Core i3 7th Gen good for gaming?
However, an i3 won't always be adequate, as some games do require a true quad core processor (the i3 is a hyperthreaded dual core CPU) - usually open-world games have higher CPU requirements, but it's also the case in multiplayer, where there's more processing going on than in a single-player campaign.
