Easy install. Runs extremely fast for what Im used to.

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


- Cheap - Meet requirements of pretty much everything

good chip. low watts. high threads. 1-2 day shipping from new egg.

it has increased my computer speed

There seems to be a lot of issues with cpus and motherboards lately but mine works perfectly with my b550 msi wifi motherboard

Far better than previous gen Legit top end performance


Fire and forget.


Its pretty powerfull


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

I think I may have won the silicon lottery. The CPU I received seems to be benchmarking higher then a lot of compairble I9 14900k's. Could also be that there is just not a lot of results yet. Time will tell. This however is a big jump up from the I5 13600K from a application workload perspective. I plan on having this for atleast a couple generations.

Not only has my FPS and overall gaming performance improvedespecially in older titles like World of WarcraftI went against popular opinion and sold my underwhelming AMD system, upgrading to this one. I originally aimed for the 270K, but when it sold out, this model popped back in stock, and I decided to take the chance. I run multiple LLMs, game, stream, do light video editing, and experiment with AI and video generationbasically a little bit of everything. I already had a 5080 and 64GB of RAM, but wowthis machine is a beast. I was worried Id lose 1015% performance, and in some games I did lose about 5%, but what truly matters is that I can now use my PC however I wanteven while gaming. No more shutting down my LLMs just to play casually. The best part? My 1% lows jumped up massivelyby around 35% in MMOs. Thats far more important to me than raw FPS. No more micro-stutters, OBS crashes, or rubberbanding. I used to spend hours tweaking settings just to get games good enough to enjoyand I always felt I fell short. Im not claiming to be a hardware guru, just a hobbyist whos built PCs for over a decade (RIP 1080 Ti). Long story short: if youre chasing every last frame and dont care about AI, 1% lows, or multitasking, this is an incredible bargain at $200.

-Able to play everything I've thrown at it for 1080p gaming. -Haven't had any issues with overheating or throttling - AMD drivers have been good and the software works well for turning on FSR and different profiles for each game.

Fast! Smooth! Easy install, Easy to clean! Fast! Fast!

-Price/Performance ratio is amazing, I am very happy with this cpu. -You could go with the X version, but it may draw more power. -With a strong cooler, this cpu rarely goes above 65 C during gaming sessions, so don't be to worry about reviews warning about how hot it gets...
