- Fast - Goes on sale frequently - Outperforms similarly priced competition - It's not AMD (only kidding)

After searching and comparing I concluded that this CPU is best value for money. And one that will last for years. [My i3 lasted for 10 years without a hitch].

Great good build, with like a charm. Temp at low under STRESS TEST.

Arrived earlier than expected. Works just like new.

Processor works as advertised. I have a feeling that there will be a fix soon for the gaming with either a windows or Bios update. I was right the latest bios and windows updates have improved it`s performance. Works much faster and better now.

Pros: Super fast Power efficiency much better than i7/i9 Not 14nm (finally)

Easy to install Thermals out of the box are good. Without overclocking Cinebench score of 39,303 multi-core, 2,229 single core, with a 17.63 MP Ratio.

-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!

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.

Awesome performance.


Works great, great price, fast shipping, actually received what is shown.



- Flexibility, extremely useful when debugging to have an iGPU on hand. Gives the display port on my MOBO a use. Would recommend even with a dedicated GPU as the perf loss is a worthwhile trade for resilience (especially in the current market, where a failing GPU might literally put your PC out of commission until next year purely due to scarcity). - Great clock speeds and single/multicore performance, scales extremely well with RAM speed (though I would stick to AMD's stated max of 3200 Mhz). Even performs favorably to the Ryzen 7 3800X for performance from what I've seen! (This largely applies for gaming or non-storage intensive work) - Good performance at reasonable resolutions for most games, with good temps at a low TDP to boot. Would expect this to be a go to for any GPU-less or ultra SFF PC. - (personal opinion) AM4 pins and socket makes for easier installation/removal. Whole thing just feels engineered well. Caveat - be careful when/if you are removing a CPU heatsink.

-fast response and good replacement time

Purchased this when it was on sale, and I couldn't be happier with the performance boost. Coming from a Ryzen 5 2600 this was a night and day difference. I'm able to play 1440p now while riding my Am4 parts for a few more years.

- Great price - Great performance - Good power consumption - Fast shipping - Works with legacy AM4 motherboards (with bios updates)
