I guess any current cpu would be an upgrade but wow this this thing is fast.

-AM5 Processor, built on AMD's latest "Zen 5" architecture -Absolutely great performance for gaming -Very good performance in productivity -Very strong single-core performance -Great compatibility with AMD exclusive features such as "Precision Boost Overdrive" which can unlock even more performance.

- Paired with an RX 6600 I got for $220 and a $30 cooler this thing can handle Cyberpunk on High settings, at 70-80% usage, between 4.1- 4.2GHz, barely using over 30W and temps staying around 60 degrees.

-Great at Multitasking -Uses power in an efficient way -Has overclock potential

Performance in games and applications has been great. There are several guides on youtube to get a bit more performance out of the chip with some undervolting. Zero complaints about performance, just nit picking.

Seems to handle anything I throw at it Great for content creation Great for gaming

I got exactly what I was expecting. The CPU runs a tiny bit hot but that is also what everyone says online so I expected that. This CPU will be future proof as long as I take care of it.

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

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

Everything

This sucker is powerful - probably more than I really need - but it went on sale when I was purchasing the 7900x - so I splurged. I LOVE how this chip can be undervolted using Eco Mode - it lets you operate at much lower wattage (105W or 65W) - when compared to the chips 170 TDP. I've run the cpu in both 105 and 65 modes and haven't had any issues. Oddly enough, the 105 eco mode (on this chip) - gives me the best temperatures. Nice work AMD - Now I just need a GPU - lol

Coming from 11900k I definitely noticed the difference the 14900k is a monster

Worked with no issues out of the box When paired with a Gigabyte B650E Aorus Elite X AC ICE MB I managed to get 6400MT/s (from the default 4800MT/s) after overclocking the memory sticks, and so far I had no issues with stability With the Gigabyte B650E Aorus Elite X AC ICE MB I can have an external GPU (on the main PCIe socket) at x16 lanes, and also have an NVME SSD on the "M2B_CPU" slot. Using the first "M2A_CPU" slot would cause the main PCIe socket to share some lanes with the external GPU Easy to cool with a cheap air cooler, as it is only 65W TDP.

Handles itself pretty much at everything

Strong performance in all environments!!

I will say that after a month of usage I have not had any of the stability issues I see posted around then internet, but as always, time will tell. ETA: I updated the bios of my MSI MPG Carbon MAX Wifi II the day I received the board to the most current A40 version.

- Linux: Total of 32 processors activated (274665.92 BogoMIPS) !! - Easy to install - runs cool - tctl averages 50c, peaks around 90c under heavy load (with a 240 AIO). - very stable with expo at 6000mhz, and two gen 5 ssd.

really good price for its performance, it's a steal.

Fast and reliable
