I've been an AMD fan since 2000. This 12 core 7000 series X3D is a great workstation machine. Somewhere I read in the mainboard literature to use the first premade algorithm in the BIOS if you just wanted a really fast workstation.

This CPU will boost to a full 5.4 GHZ. during heavy workloads! It runs a little hotter than my AM4 CPUs, about 14 degrees over ambient, using a Thermalright Spirit 120 SE. But during heavy gaming, it runs about 63 °C, and that is cool enough!

So fast, great for gaming, one of the best CPUs I've used

- It's not AMD - Biggest pro right there! - Fast - Runs cool - In all the tests I see it appears that the 256K is the absolute best value...more below.

Benchmarks great

I got this item on sale, and it is an amazing upgrade for anyone with older Am4 setup. This runs significantly cooler than my 9700k, and even comes with a cooler. I did not use the included cooler, but it was a nice touch that makes the value even better.

Everything

Runs my MS Flight Simulator 2020 really well. It's primary purpose.

Fast and reliable

Fast - improved rendering time in Davinci, improved fps in games, improved office software speed.

-Great at Multitasking -Uses power in an efficient way -Has overclock potential

Does everything well.

This cpu is fast, and chews through any consumer or workstation use you throw at it. Especially with a good undervolt/overclock, the 13th and 14th gen intel chips cannot compete with the workhorse aspect of this cpu period. They beat this cpu by margins of error in single core use only. That said, this cpu will deliver any experience you throw at and expect from it. Games like a champ, crunches compute like a champ, and gives a snappy performance. This is perfect for a high end workstation/1440p gaming build. It's very easy to tune in bios, and not very complicated to figure out how to play with it's settings. I'd recommend the 'actually hardcore overclocking' channel on YouTube. He has a full guide on how to tune this chip for best efficiency/operation.

Exactly what i needed to get my PC built. Great price to performance as of Oct. 2024 Great gaming chip for cheap.

Easy peazy to install Hums like a dream and fast? wow ..


-Fast -Great OC capability -Great synergy with AMD products

El mejor procesador precio rendimiento para todo en éstos momentos.

Good value for the performance

Got when was $107.99 and got good silicon lottery. Can almost high max pbo boost with a PX4 cooler. Running 64gb of DDR4 3600 mhz 16-20-20-38 1.4V 500 tRFC.
