- works out of the box packaged fairly -Handle's game I play fine at 1440p for the price I paid

Everything

More gaming focused than my 3950x Didnt require a reimagine to boot Bought after upgrading to 4K@240Hz since my 3950x was struggling to keep up with a 6900xt I run baseline >2500MHz. Single threaded centric games like Warframe, WoW, Planetside2 where all games that I saw incredibly higher minimum and maximum framerates in ontop of the standard upgrades, even at 4k.

This was an easy setup and runs great! I have not had any issues and it runs 24/7. It is extremely fast and the GPU was better than I expected although I m still adding a Nvidia card.

6 core 12 threads is a noteisable jump form the i3 1200f that is a 4 core 8 threads

- Low power consumption (65-89W) - Four 12-th gen performance cores with hyperthreading - DDR4 and DDR5 support (depending on the motherboard) - Has an integrated GPU that can help troubleshoot BIOS settings if the main GPU doesn't work - More comparisons here: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/compare.html?productIds=96149,134589,134594,134584

The processing power of this chip lends well to both gaming and business functions (spreadsheets, graphics, etc.).

-Room to overclock - I initially ran it at 4.5 without extra voltage for a while, and I've now had it at 4.7 for over a year of gaming sessions that are often longer than I'd like to publicly admit; it is still perfectly stable. For reference, I'm cooling it with a corsair all-in-one liquid unit. This PC is the third I've built for myself (I'm counting PCs by times I've replaced the CPU), but this was the first time I was brave enough to buy an unlocked CPU to push the voltage up. I'm thrilled with the results. From what I understand, I got a bit lucky in the chip lotto, getting one that would be stable at 4.7 without adding enough voltage to wear it out too quickly. - Aged well - I find it so strange that a CPU has aged well, but this one is amazing. I'm not even thinking about building a new PC yet. I gave it a new GPU last year, and might bump the GPU again next year, but the CPU is still a beast. - Temp - I've read some of the other reviews for this chip, and I'm surprised at the number of people mentioning temp issues, even "real" liquid cooling (not the all-in-one unit I went with). This while gaming, this chip rarely breaks 50c (I'm as shocked as you are when reading this). The room temp is usually around 21c (70f). I guess intel did a really good job with the thermal paste under the lid, and I did a good job with the thermal paste on top? It's hard for me to imagine how others are having temp issues unless I just got lucky with extra-awesome paste application. As an aside, my case is fairly large and well cooled, so the heat inside the case from other components has only a nominal impact on cpu temp.

Easy to install, runs blazing fast. I can't attest to how well it might run new games, but boot up is fast, everything about it is fast.

Stupid fast. Easy to install because AM4 is just that good. It's a re-release of the greatest gaming CPU of all time, with a few tweaks that make it even better than before.

I7 is the best processor for the best price at the moment, never uses full capacity as it doesn't have to.

Worked without any issue. I bought the one that came with no cooler. I used aftermarket cooler. 203 bucks was well worth the performance you get out of the 7600 non X
