-I'm blown away by just how smooth everything is now. -The x3d architecture bringing more cache is incredible for games. If you are having micro-stutters, then this is your fix. -Seemingly better than the current intel line-up -No pins on the CPU!

Upgrade from i5 9600k, using 32 gb ddr5 on an asrock z790 wifi, seeing impressive gains in FPS at 1440 in games with the same video card, like 10-40 fps generally.

- Cheap! (Even before the trade-in), plus I got it right before it sold out, plus plus you get the new Assassins Creed game for free. - Its the 14700k with a 200mhz slower clock, and no iGPU. Youll never need integrated graphics of the K series because, even if your graphics card dies, your PC will be unusable with iGPU except for the most basic operations, and youll just be ordering a replacement card anyway. - Doesnt require AIO (water) cooling

Fast high thread count

-fast response and good replacement time

-Fastest gaming cpu aside from 14900KS as of writing this review (they're super close) -The p-cores overclock better than 13th gen.

Good processor, fast and reliable. Great value. Comes it a cooling unit.

Speedy Gonzales

So far so good. I was particularly happy it came with a fan and the fan did not need extra mounting hardware on the motherboard. Very straight-forward processor install. Has been running at constant 37C/100F. Not used as a heavy duty gamer but would probably want more sophisticated cooling if I were to do heavy gaming

Fast! No external Gpu! Great!

works great

Price to performance


+ Affordable for my needs + Can be over-clocked + Great CPU for the non-gamer + Average Temps well within specs + Wraith Cooler does fine for temps

This is a great processor, if you want to extend the cycle of the am4 platform. I bought this and i am not regretful that i did. Excellent thermals in gaming, as well as power consumption, usually the power stays from 65-95w depending on the game you are playing. It is literally the 5900x in gaming but with v-cache, which really helps significantly the microstutters, there are barely none (mostly loading screens). This processor increases the 1% lows giving you a better gaming experience than the regular x processors due to v-cache



This was a budget gaming build and this exceeded my expectations! Great for gamers and business. Runs pretty fast compared to the i9 9900k I had. Huge upgrade for now!

- Low price - Great performance - AMD is back in the game with Ryzen ! I really love my TR-1950. This processor of this review was for a build for my uncle.
