As advertised, no problems!

-Fast and furious -Gaming beast

High FPS, 300+ in Fortnite

3d v cache

I had no problem installing into my pc.

Great price when on sale

Not only has my FPS and overall gaming performance improvedespecially in older titles like World of WarcraftI went against popular opinion and sold my underwhelming AMD system, upgrading to this one. I originally aimed for the 270K, but when it sold out, this model popped back in stock, and I decided to take the chance. I run multiple LLMs, game, stream, do light video editing, and experiment with AI and video generationbasically a little bit of everything. I already had a 5080 and 64GB of RAM, but wowthis machine is a beast. I was worried Id lose 1015% performance, and in some games I did lose about 5%, but what truly matters is that I can now use my PC however I wanteven while gaming. No more shutting down my LLMs just to play casually. The best part? My 1% lows jumped up massivelyby around 35% in MMOs. Thats far more important to me than raw FPS. No more micro-stutters, OBS crashes, or rubberbanding. I used to spend hours tweaking settings just to get games good enough to enjoyand I always felt I fell short. Im not claiming to be a hardware guru, just a hobbyist whos built PCs for over a decade (RIP 1080 Ti). Long story short: if youre chasing every last frame and dont care about AI, 1% lows, or multitasking, this is an incredible bargain at $200.

It runs cool and the extra lanes of Gen 5 PCIe is superior to LGA1700 designs.

- 12 Cores 💎 - 3D V-cache 🤩 - One of the best non-server CPUs (April 2025)

Obviously simple to install it make my system run nice and fast. No real issues until I try to setup XMP. I really do like the CPU.

Fast, Powerful, Great Cinebench

All great, great shipping, quality products last gen ryzen 5 5600 Paid 149.99$ Free shipping

-Loads of P-cores and E-cores -High clock speeds -Plays any video game or task I throw at it like its nothing. Chews it up and spits it out

- 20 cores! - easily overclocked to 5.6GHz, probably can do more if I care to - running great with some 6400MHz DDR5 - immediately let me max out the graphics settings on all the games I play*

-Locked 5ghz all core at 1.125v? Done - only being 7 points shy of a 5800x in Cinebench -PBO off + 85c TJMax (im on a stock cooler) + auto clock/voltage? 10 points shy of a 5800x -Can be undervolted, or over, while good and bad it has done 99 watts @ 1.25v and 5.2ghz -Apparently a 7600x without the iGPU, either way its the one to go for to start on AM5

- Easy installation and no issues with the setup - Noticeable improvements with games that I play (on average I get about a 20-30 fps increase which is awesome)

- close in performance to much more expensive CPUs - 18 (!) cores - matches AMD in gaming and handily beats in productivity

Upgraded 2020 budget mini ITX build from Ryzen 5 2600. Updated mobo before disassembly. For unknown reason CPU would not register/ black screen, then it magically went to working after I asked for replacement. LOL. Does not come with fan, which I knew. Reused Nomura fan and cooler. Temps very moderate. I also upgraded to an NVMe 1tb ssd, all paired with existing GTX1060 6 GB, 16 GB RAM. Could not be happier. Noticeable difference in speed. Should be good for several more years now. Fast shipping too.

Good gaming, rendering, multi tasking experience

I will definitely recommend this here cpu by intel especially for anyone who is looking to upgrade they older system that have 8 gens or even older intel socket or just looking to switch form amd.
