Switched from Intel to AMD for the first time in 30 years

-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.

I love this CPU. SO much AM4 Stuff Will fit on AM5 it's fast, it sips power! Because it sips power, I can cool it with a 40 dollar CPU Heat sink just fine! It's got a cool name, and every time I tell what I have to people, they always say "Ooh..".

Many good budget motherboards available for this cpu. I am 99% sure with a de bloated windows it performs the same as a r5 5600 on a non de bloated windows.

Fast Cool Efficient High Speeds

I bought this CPU after "test driving" many laptops with their iteration of the Ultra 7 CPUs. I was impressed by the smoothness and speed of these, so I upgraded from a 13700k to this one. The Ultra runs a bit cooler than the 13700k. Neither CPU was overclocked. In BIOS performance settings, this runs at 5.2 GHZ with zero issues. On air, it runs at about 33 C under normal load. Nice CPU.

-Best in class -Super efficient -Cool Temps -Easy OC

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!

This thing is flawless and fast. I have a 12900k so this does feel a little bit of an improvement. The difference to me is that it goes through applications and games a little more efficiently and smoother. I like it. For the price on sale compared to previous generations it's a good bargain. No integrated graphics which is awesome for me.

I installed this 14500 on a ASUS Tuf B760 motherboard, and it has been operating flawlessly for a couple weeks. Its a fast, affordable chip! Im using a 3rd party tower cooler, so I cant comment on the stock cooler, but it stays cool (less than 70C) even during heavy power spikes past 150W.

On par with my other computer which has 5900x.


Probably more than enough and well-balanced for most people.

Did not cost a million, runs cool !

24 cores at this price in unreal. The other guys give you 6 and 8 cores for this price lol. Boots fast, and breezes through everything I throw at it without a hitch. Gaming and multi tasking are a dream. CPU runs very cool despite being a multicore beast. Compatible with my older AIO, no need for any adapters, just worked. New Intel APO and IBT features are cool, but hope they support them long term. Overclocks really, really well. I am running at E cores at 5.1Ghz, P cores at 5.6Ghz and D2D at 4.0Ghz, Cache at 4.1GHz, and NGU at 3.4Ghz. These are well above stock, and it has zero issues. Tuned my DRAM to 8667 CL38 and get huge bandwidth and low latency now.

runs cool and quiet, the igpu is a major bonus imo, still building and testing, i will update when complete. so far sooo goood.

Works good with Adobe Lightroom, faster than my previous AMD 9 Ryzen5900x.

I hit 45000 on cpu benchmark Huge difference compared to my old Ryzen5 5600g

Super fast processor!

As advertised, and it works just fine.
