BEST SELLERS

In CPU / Processor

This thing is flawless and fast. I have a 12900k so this does feel a little bit of an improvement. The difference to me is that it goes through applications and games a little more efficiently and smoother. I like it. For the price on sale compared to previous generations it's a good bargain. No integrated graphics which is awesome for me.

8 cores 16 threads

- Overclocked very well in my ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero - (All cores at 5.0 Ghz) - Temps stay very low with Noctua NH-D15 (Except during Prime95 and AVX !) - Power draw at idle is very low (as expected). - American company

it runs really cool with water overclocked out of the box to 4.8 no problems runs games like a champ

Built in graphics

The processing power of this chip lends well to both gaming and business functions (spreadsheets, graphics, etc.).

Amazing gaming performance!

- Works fine. - Runs cool with stock cooler. - vPro Technology. You can essentially KVM into a box using intel cpus that have vPro enabled, allowing me to remotely connect to the box regardless of the OS, at a hardware level, to preform maintenance.

Works acceptably.

- Excellent price/performance ratio - Excellent performance (both, single-core and multi-core) - Sufficient heat-sink that isn't too noisy.

6 core 12 threads is a noteisable jump form the i3 1200f that is a 4 core 8 threads

If you are looking for the best performance on a budget, this is your chip. I built two systems with similar hardware except for the CPU - one with this and the other with a core 7 265. I can't tell a difference in Star Citizen, one of the most demanding games on a CPU.

Fast, has hyperthreading. If you don't have a Sandy Bridge CPU, just jump up to Ivy Bridge. If you're concerned about the heat dissipation issue, my 3770K is OCed to 4.4Ghz with a Scythe Mugen 2 RevB and core temp doesn't exceed 120*F.

- Handles all core and single core workloads with ease - Great for gaming stuttering was almost non existent - Works with many generations of motherboards with a BIOS update - Performance per watt is out of this world

It is a rather powerful cpu . It is unlocked and comes with an integrated AMD Radeon graphics video GPU. To take advantage of the unlocked feature you would need a Z series motherboard. I personnaly chose a B series motherboard to avoid costly mistakes boosting the CPU. Playing video games on the integrated video card will lower overall specs. If games need a powerful video card it would show up by preventing playing the game. In this case on a tight budget you can purchase a used Radeon RX570 or RX580 video card that will let you play the recent games with average video specs. Older games and simple ones like Mahjong should play fine.

Cheaper the new Fully functional

Great performance, one of the best upgrade you can do.
