Exceptional gaming performance in certain titles Better performance in gaming than more expensive CPUs (namely the Ryzen 7900X3D and 7950X3D)
Expensive but definitely worth it thats for sure runs cool at 40 degrees Celsius and cinebench only hits 69 degrees Celsius due to my cooling in my case have 0 issues so far
- Unlocked K-Series chips are good fun if you want to mess around with your computer. - You can manually set up something that works like Turbo 3.0 and TVB, which are present on the high-end SKUs but not this one, if you use the correct BIOS options. Just requires more work to identify the strong vs weak cores, and an understanding of your cooling limits. - Getting the integrated GPU is great for expanded utility down the road, even if you don't need it today. My i7-4770K will get repurposed into a NAS and the IGP will be super nice for working with that system. - It has Raptor in the name. - The example I got seems to be a decent bin. 5.7GHz all-core at 1.3V or so, some cores will do 6GHz at 1.354V. Stable so far through a significant reliability gauntlet, including Prime95, OCCT core cycling, YCruncher, Linpack, and much more. I'm sure there's more headroom but I settled on something well within the limits for daily usage. - More manageable TDP (181W) versus the high 253W TDP on the i7 and i9. - Can achieve single threaded performance as good as the top SKUs with some work.
This cpu paired with 4060 can run anything with frames over the 200 range no shutter no slow down. With new high profile games. I can honestly see no point in buying the x3d chips when this does everything gaming wise!
Simple. Period.
- Consistent and reliable performance - Reasonable to keep cooled adequately - Has areas where it does in fact outrun the directly competing other-brand chip
Temps are pretty stable and low on just a Thermalright air-cooler.
Fast, Powerful, Great Cinebench
Its brand new, 8 cores 16 threads integrated graphics
Nice speeds Nice power draw Nice temps
Was a decent price 12/24 cores that can go above 5ghz boosted
It smashes my i5 11600k that i had in iracing an now i can upgrade gpu from 4060 to something more high end....

It's a nice chip. I have a graphics card so I didn't need the K version; the KF works just fine.
Processor works as advertised. I have a feeling that there will be a fix soon for the gaming with either a windows or Bios update. I was right the latest bios and windows updates have improved it`s performance. Works much faster and better now.
ez setup , runs like a champ
16 core 32 threats. Powerful and less power demand.
Stability, Power, Overclocking
easy to install - practicaly idiot proof
