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].

- Fast! - Only 65w - 20 cores

So far this CPU is great, I installed it on my new gaming PC I built and everything seems to be running well!

- Cheap - Meet requirements of pretty much everything

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.

-Fast for web browsing. Especially watching livestreams like Twitch.tv and Youtube. -Faster than I thought for gaming -Runs cool with water cooling

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.

-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 purchased an AMD Ryzen 5800x3d to "sidegrade" to replace my 5900x. The massive 96 MB level three cache is what sold me on this particular CPU. The CPU was open and possibly used... but it works well enough to make my 5900x look weak. The 5900x is a server CPU. The 5800x3d is a true gaming CPU.

works great


works well on a asus rog b760f with the supplied orbital fan. AI3 software runs in low power mode and turbos with game applications and stays under 78c average with a top down blower fan

finally replaced my 10 year old 2600K Sandy Bridge build. Eventually opening Chrome with about 8 windows would peg the old CPU but now there is a notable snappiness that was lacking before. Don't do any serious multithreading but this should last another 8-10 years paired with DDR5 and a WD 2TB 750 black. Waiting for GPU prices to normalize (may be years) before plunking down $ for a new card (currently have old 970 GTX.)

Very easy to install and tons of speed, very satisfied with this product.


Easy install. Includes a heat sink and fan-I didnt use it but still good for some. Started right up and ran with no trouble.

-fast response and good replacement time

The performance improvement is well worth the money coming from a 12th gen cpu. This is a no brainier upgrade with the Z690 chipset being compatible with 14th gen.
