P Cores run between 5.4 and 5.7 when doing stuff. E Cores always seem to run at 4.6 when doing stuff. Have it paired with a 5090 and a 9100 PRO M.2 NvME for games and boy to things load fast! Haven't noticed any of the speed degradation like those noted when it was first released. I ponied up for good RAM, too. 4x16 gig CAS Latency 30 @ 6400, the processors native RAM speed. Suer you can over clock the RAM but always aim for your sticks being at least as fast as the processors native controller supports. Went from a 10920x to this after holding out as long as I could. I do wish that they'd make an "X" version at some point, you just can't beat the quad channel memory and the 44 PCI-E Lanes.

Arrived at the time it said it would, is what I purchased, and came as described

Fast and stable! I've done a bunch of stupid stuff like running multiple games, chats, and a video all at the same time and the CPU was never the bottleneck. Had some stability issues at first but that turned out to be the mobo and not the CPU, don't buy gigabyte.

- A great upgrade from my 3900X - Very fast clock speed and big cache - Runs cool, idles at around 40 C and runs at 70 C at full load

Coming from an i7 3820, this thing is a monster! My PC is now has fast has my phone, lol. Multitasking is nothing. Alt-tabbing out of a game into Discord, browser, Netflix, not an issue. Yes, Im still on one monitor/TV. >.<

Great price for a quad core Skylake processor. Runs very cool with the tiny included heat sink. I was surprised to see such a small heat sink with an i5, but it does the job. Idle temp is 75 F, 100% CPU usage is 116 F.

1-Stable TDP, which means you don't need to buy expensive heat sinks. No need to put up with bad fan noise. 2-Sufficient performance, even when matched with INTEL B580, it is enough, and even has 8% performance left.

Very fast. No problems. Custom build running a Fractal Design Celsius 24 on it, no overclock - 96 F. Browser and virus scans never seen run this fast before!

Needed to update my older system to consider running windows 11, and this came it at a price point I could afford - matched with a gigabyte B560M DS3H and everything booted right up. Also used the Cooler Master Hyper 212 instead of the out of box cooler that everyone says was bad.

Everything about it.

Fit like a glove into ASRock B450M/AC R2.0 AM4 AMD Promontory B450 SATA 6Gb/s Micro ATX AMD Motherboard Performs well - comes with some heat trasfer ... very quite fan ..

Excellent chip. Good price.

Good price for a 8c/16t cpu was less then 176. Great single/multi thread to finish off AM4. Bios and OS says it is what it should be performance is great even with a old 4g AMD RX570 Came quick within a week.

Price cannot be beat!

After reading many articles on the processor I pulled the trigger and spent the extra money for it I have 0regrets runs at 29c at idle and around 45 c to 60c under a stress load I was surprised to see it had a fan and heatsink
