This doubles my multi thread rating. BF6 loads me in to maps much faster. If I encode more DVD Movies it will not take nearly as long. Planning to wait a couple of years before replacing the mobo, CPU, and RAM in my computer. RAM prices are out of control. Waiting for them to come back down.

- Unlocked K-Series chips are good fun if you want to mess around with your computer. - You can manually set up something that works like Turbo 3.0 and TVB, which are present on the high-end SKUs but not this one, if you use the correct BIOS options. Just requires more work to identify the strong vs weak cores, and an understanding of your cooling limits. - Getting the integrated GPU is great for expanded utility down the road, even if you don't need it today. My i7-4770K will get repurposed into a NAS and the IGP will be super nice for working with that system. - It has Raptor in the name. - The example I got seems to be a decent bin. 5.7GHz all-core at 1.3V or so, some cores will do 6GHz at 1.354V. Stable so far through a significant reliability gauntlet, including Prime95, OCCT core cycling, YCruncher, Linpack, and much more. I'm sure there's more headroom but I settled on something well within the limits for daily usage. - More manageable TDP (181W) versus the high 253W TDP on the i7 and i9. - Can achieve single threaded performance as good as the top SKUs with some work.

Very high performance. Customization available in bios. Fine tuning. Keeps my room warm.

Runs great. Good price for my need.

- Really good match for a budget minded, 1080p gaming build - AM5 platform has a great upgrade path that should be supported for a few more years - Lower TDP than the 7600x - Cooler included in box

- Cost - Speed - Performance

- I only use this build for games and this processor works great for that.

Good performance and thermals

With new bios no problem whatsoever

-No more Process Lasso process pinning -No more incorrect CCD blunders -No more micromanagement -a ton of 3D V-Cache

plug and play with the right motherboard and ssd drive, really fast CPU fotr anything you need to do it works great.

Copper plating allows it to absorb more heat from the cpu than a normal heat sink.

This processor is another great upgrade from the older series.

Is one of the lower end AM5 X3D cpu.

- close in performance to much more expensive CPUs - 18 (!) cores - matches AMD in gaming and handily beats in productivity

This thing is a beast it is bored in Far Cry 6 with everything maxed out (16%). I don't do encoding so I didn't need the 5950x workstation bump.

Nice processor
