BEST SELLERS

In Desktop CPU Processor

at full load it draws 108 watts and goes 5.6 ghz no need to overclock Easy to install slightly lower Tj max than the x series means lower operating temps for this series. My 360 aio does a good job keeping temps below 70c at peak - running analytical and stress testing software. Running AAA games i dont see temperatures rise above 60c or much more than 30% cpu use.

Fast processor, easy on power and runs cool, keeps up extremely well with our other computer's Ryzen 7 7700x, especially considering it's only a Ryzen 5.

Passmark CPU went from 8,000 to almost 20,000 (1400 to 5500 Ryzen) Getting about 15-20% more out of my GPU (typically +20fps on most games) Stock cooler better than i expected in terms of size and quality CPU upgrade will extend my current PC for another 2 years before going AM5 $99 wow

Easy to install. No hardware compatibility's issues. Windows 11 24H2 installed with no issues as well. Runs very cool even on a10 minute Cenebench test max temps never exceeded 78 C. Quite low. Cinebench score exceeded 35K.

-Fast -Reliable

It was amazing for a am4 build

Very versatile, very fast, easily cooled

4.7 ghz base clock

Powerful CPU. It has handled what ever Ive thrown at it within reason.

Keeps real cool with a 360mm water cooler

P Cores run between 5.4 and 5.7 when doing stuff. E Cores always seem to run at 4.6 when doing stuff. Have it paired with a 5090 and a 9100 PRO M.2 NvME for games and boy to things load fast! Haven't noticed any of the speed degradation like those noted when it was first released. I ponied up for good RAM, too. 4x16 gig CAS Latency 30 @ 6400, the processors native RAM speed. Suer you can over clock the RAM but always aim for your sticks being at least as fast as the processors native controller supports. Went from a 10920x to this after holding out as long as I could. I do wish that they'd make an "X" version at some point, you just can't beat the quad channel memory and the 44 PCI-E Lanes.

No problem keeping the thermals in range with a quiet Noctua cooler.

Amazingly fast Easy to overclock, started with a 5.5Ghz all cores & reduced to 5.2Ghz due to honestly couldn't tell the difference in speed, however, definitely can tell the difference in power draw & heat production. Set voltage to 1.24 volts and has been at a 65-to-85-watt CPU draw. At idle runs 32c or lower, under load have seen no higher than 45c. Everything seems so fast & fluid, Windows 11, high demanding games, just anything I have tried so far, it hasn't slowed down or ran super-hot like all those reviews you see where the CPU hits 95c.

Less power draw, lower temps, better frame rates, then 7700x. Seems better than outgoing model my opinion.

Seemed simple enough to install

Incredible jump up from my 5800X, cut my Handbrake encode times in half.

Performance is as expected, probably the best workstation-class CPU on desktop right now. With a bit curve optimizer tuning, can do 45k score in Cinebench R23 and 15k score in Time Spy Extreme CPU benchmark with only 230W package power reported from HWInfo64. Idle power consumption sits at around 35W on desktop.

Easy to install and provides adequate speed.

- Its the Gaming CPU we've been waiting 6 generations for - Finally making its first step down from 14nm to 10nm node process since 2015

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.
