A good desktop quad core from 2013 will even be fine for moderately demanding tasks (complex excel sheets, data heavy line of business apps, a lot of gaming outside AAA from the last few years), as long as your other components are fine (NVMe SSD, at least 16 GB high speed RAM, good dGPU that's not older than 6-7 years, respectable cooling).
