Lots of cores Top of the line processor Bragging rights

Awesome: Newegg customer service was incredibly reassuring and resolved the problem posthaste

Bought for my son to build with new motherboard works great and really fast , son says was able to overclock without over heating and runs well

Nasty gaming performance

Bought this CPU as part of a new PC build. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Installation was smooth, and after running Intel's diagnostic tool and using it for a few days, everything is running stable and as expected. Very happy with the product and would buy from this merchant again. This was the 3rd processor I purchased for this build, the first two being duds from rhymes with gleebay. I will never do that again. Zero hassles and it just worked.

fast and efficient

Value, Performance, Reliability

Easy install

Works good with Adobe Lightroom, faster than my previous AMD 9 Ryzen5900x.

This CPU is a monstrous performer compared to the 5000 series. Huge leap in technology and performance and the 670 chipset is also stellar. Installed my 7950 on an ASUS X670E with a gen 5 nVME.The performance is double compared to 5900 on a X570 MB. This CPU idles pretty warm, but under heavy load never exceeds 90C running prime95 or similar benchmarks. All this using an air cooler. AMD has knocked it out of the park again. Easily operates with 6000 speed RAM which can OC to 6400 no problem and FCLK 2100. I recommend the ASUS MB as the BIOS is very stable and mature and has no problem pushing the limits of the 7950 with factory settings. Moved to AMD 10 years ago and never look back. Gamers may prefer the X3D version, but I am getting more than 200FPC in Furmark 2160 (4K) and 500FPS in 1080p. PerformanceTest 11 CPU benchmark 64723 which is off the charts worldwide for this CPU.

Can't bend pins anymore Fast Boost clock over 5.4Ghz

Dynamic switch 5.8 GHZ and 5.450 GHZ oc very good processor and very underestimated by the media I tested against my 7800x3d and its games for not much both were optimized 7800x3d oc ebclk and negative pbo curve with both of the ram 2x24GB trident z gskill oc 6200 MHZ cl28-38-38-38 on aida the 9700x job maintains a latency of 56.8ns against the 7800x3d 57.6ns

Fast and efficient Handles undervolting and low tdp ( max 120v set) like a champ with no issues Benchmark scores across the board were withing 15pts of 14900k under s200 overclock

1. It's not an i9-14900k. 2. It runs a lot cooler than my last processor. (which fried during the return process) 3. Does what it's intended for.

I know its not for gaming but boy it downloads fast, and has the ability to do anything k need in a snappy manner.

This is the cream of the crop i9 from Intel's LGA 1700 socket. The last dance with the Intel Core i series CPUs as they're rebranding. I've used/tested all LGA 1700 i9 CPUs and this is the best hands down across the board. Do not listen to or watch the 'tech tuber' reviews that blast these things with 500w of power and then whine about temps or power. If you follow Intel's 253w advertised limits and voltage tune your particular chip, they run around mid 70s under heavy AVX load, lower if you have a good cooler/paste. For gaming, you will have even lower temps since you won't get remotely close to the power limits. Easy drop in upgrade if already on an existing LGA 1700 motherboard. I am able to run high memory overclocks with this chip. Not limited to around 6000MTs like some brands. High memory OC are no problemo, and this leads to excellent gaming and application performance. Top tier gaming performance, while having the ability to run many apps and heavy application performance. This isn't a one trick pony with a lowly 8 core design being sold at a premium. All games and apps run fluid and fast, not just ones that fit within the cache. Future proofed with excellent multicore performance and headroom. At it's launch price, this chip is a no brainer if you want the best all around chip.

-Very fast

-Price/Performance ratio is amazing, I am very happy with this cpu. -You could go with the X version, but it may draw more power. -With a strong cooler, this cpu rarely goes above 65 C during gaming sessions, so don't be to worry about reviews warning about how hot it gets...
