I am surprised people still have quad-cores.... Honestly cannot remember in recent history using a quaddy.
Even my $800 AUD notebook has a 6-core CPU... And my phone has an 8-core chip.

Been using a 6-core or better CPU since 2010 starting with the Phenom 2 x6 1090T.

How do they handle in modern games and software?

I think the most demanding games I have are The Witcher 3, GTA V and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. They all run fine with my i5-4670k and a GTX 1070 at 1440p.

Thanks for asking.

Witcher 3 is 5~ years old, GTA 5 is 7 years old, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a couple years old.
Not surprising they run well... Haswell still sticking in there I see. Are you running it at stock or overclocked?

Kinda flies in the face of console gamers who assert that you need to upgrade every 6 months...
