It's an Intel. Lots of reviews on the 12th gen processors and aftermarket cooling. The design of the IHS plate requires attention. I chose to delid mine right out of the box and add a copper IHS plate. Yes warranty voided, but I have none of the issues others end up with. 360 AIO for cooling, temps are 24C at idle, and 63C stressed for two hours.

plug and play with the right motherboard and ssd drive, really fast CPU fotr anything you need to do it works great.

Easy to set up and use. Bonus, it came with a fan.

Arrived at the time it said it would, is what I purchased, and came as described

I don't need gaming or other heavy lifting for a CPU. I just needed a cool, quiet, modern platform that will last me for a good number of years. I chose Intel over AMD as I find Intel's Quick Sync hardware capabilities to be better in my application for a media server. This CPU fit the bill. It's the cheapest option to get into a socket 1851 platform at this time with no budget oriented Ultra 3, Pentiums, or Celeron chips available. Having 10 cores available is nice to have, but a bit overkill for my application. I am pleased with the CPU. It stays cool and quiet. The stock cooler has a copper core and is VERY quiet! It does everything I need.

Good price for a 8c/16t cpu was less then 176. Great single/multi thread to finish off AM4. Bios and OS says it is what it should be performance is great even with a old 4g AMD RX570 Came quick within a week.

- Good performance - Relatively low cost


Much cheaper than boxed cpu, so if you aren't looking to use a stock cooler this is the way to go, but honestly, you could buy a cheap AIO cooler and still save money over the retail boxed version. CPU was well packaged (bubble wrap package, box, more bubble wrap around a 2nd box containing the plastic CPU holder}, and in perfect condition. Great CPU, at a great price!



At first, the APU does all it is meant to do and very well. it ran all my applications and games at a reasonable resolution Setting. so it saved me money on the current cost of GPUs

-fast response and good replacement time

-Simple Install -Solid CPU upgrade for the price -Boot Time increased despite a 3.00 GHZ Op Freq. - Games run a lot smoother with the 3D V Cache

Works flawlessly, just as expected, good graphics performance
