I got this item on sale, and it is an amazing upgrade for anyone with older Am4 setup. This runs significantly cooler than my 9700k, and even comes with a cooler. I did not use the included cooler, but it was a nice touch that makes the value even better.

-I'm blown away by just how smooth everything is now. -The x3d architecture bringing more cache is incredible for games. If you are having micro-stutters, then this is your fix. -Seemingly better than the current intel line-up -No pins on the CPU!

-Fast for web browsing. Especially watching livestreams like Twitch.tv and Youtube. -Faster than I thought for gaming -Runs cool with water cooling

Extremely granular BIOS on the X670E chipset, EXPO setting was seamless, 6006mz, PCIe5 and extreme performance



Easily installed on a new MSI motherboard with stock fan. Recognized in BIOS and simply works

Super fast processor!

I went from a AMD 5950x to this. I only saw a small increase in performance. Intel has always had a great single core speed over AMD and id say my pc runs better than ever. Very responsive and fast. Paired with fast DDR5 ram makes the build very effective.

Faster game play in intense gaming sessions than the [email protected]. Still running the 285K at stock settings.

Very good performance! Love it!

Runs cool. Price. Free Intel badge. NO RGB. Next version will be faster. An endless story.

-More cores for media content creation. -The x3d synching of cores, minimizes latency communication between cores of active game code, producing a higher fps without having to upgrade the GPU. Faster boot up time.
