-Great in every aspect I use it for. Holds up well and temps keep low under load.

It's a budget performance champ

Works great for my photo editing.

Great Gaming Performance Easy Overclocking and Boost Power Efficient Doesnt run hot

- Good performance in gaming - Good performance as workstation - Runs way cooler than previous generations (35 C idle, 60 C gaming) - Has an NPU - Price (at the time of review)

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.

Great gamer!

This CPU will outperform all other CPU's for gaming, even the 7900x3d and 7950x3d. It leaves the i9-13900k and i9-14900k in the dust. I was 4K gaming with an i7-11700k and RTX 4090. When I upgraded to this chip, my 3DMark graphics score jumped from 30,000 to 36,000. I also noted a minimum of about 10-15% increase in FPS in most of my AAA games, sometimes even more. I thought at 4K gaming my computer would be primarily GPU bound, but I was wrong. This CPU is truly the champ. It also is highly efficient and does not use anywhere as much electricity as the Intel chips.

Product was easy to install. Made an absolute difference in my machines performance.

- very efficient - great performance - solid thermals on a dual-tower air cooler - good value at $229



Upgrade from Intel 9700k system, easy to install and memory automatically configured to correct speed.

Runs well and cool. Not far behind 14400f and even 14600k in gaming

super fast

After searching and comparing I concluded that this CPU is best value for money. And one that will last for years. [My i3 lasted for 10 years without a hitch].

-good at multitasking -fast single core process makes it good for gaming

Performance is as expected, probably the best workstation-class CPU on desktop right now. With a bit curve optimizer tuning, can do 45k score in Cinebench R23 and 15k score in Time Spy Extreme CPU benchmark with only 230W package power reported from HWInfo64. Idle power consumption sits at around 35W on desktop.

My pc has sped up, for motion graphics design

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.
