4 physical cores, 8 threads. GPU integrated. If you're asking for a budget build to game and do some work, this, paired with some mini ITX Mobo will get the job done with minimal money and footprint. Under $700 garaunteed.

If you're looking for a workstation, and $1,000 is your budget, you may as well wait for the new Ryzen processors. They've got all the cores and threads you need for way cheaper than Intel. Then just slap on an RX 570 for a GPU and you're good to go. Depending how the prices for the CPU's and (compatible) mobos work out, you may even have money to spare.

We both probably already know, but the Ryzen 7 2700 is going for something like $200 as it is. I doubt its replacement will be that much worse.

Ultimately, you know your situation best.
