Question 1

Can this CPU support everyday tasks without issues?

Accepted Answer

It sure can. I put one in a small form factor build and it makes everyday computing a breeze. with integrated graphics hardware video decoding disabled, it can play back a 1080p 60fps AV1 video with no dropped frames and only be at about 10% utilization.
