Quick Loading Times

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

- Does the video transcoding I need with the internal GPU, no issues (plex)

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

- Cheap - Meet requirements of pretty much everything


The speed! The power! easy install

speed and so forth

CPU is quick and power efficient.

decent performance great price /budget comes with cpu cooler/fan/paste if you dnt want to buy an aftermarket one this is a great mid range cpu its older now but still good cpu have for 2yrs and no probs


Low wattage draw - stays around 9-13 watts unloaded. The included Stealth cooler fan only runs a quiet 1,000-1,600 RPM in my Silverstone shelf case. The six cores run 31C at idle and so far, have never reached above 43C in moderate use. Cold boot to fully loaded using this processor, in my setup, is never more than 17 seconds. I could have easily used my old monstrous OCZ cooler from an AM2/3 build years back but the CPU runs so cool with the stock cooler there was no need. Very capable business/home use processor. Decent pricing. A.I. ready.


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

-Not too expensive -runs everyday tasks with ease -excellent for gaming -runs AAA with ease on high settings -manageable temps with 120mm air cooler

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.

Its pretty powerfull


Fastest 6-core on the market

First, a little background -- I hadn't upgraded machines in a while. My AMD Phenom II with six cores was more than showing its age. But I have a stack of servers running dual Xeon 16 core CPUs that I can use to compare this chip. Quite simply, it leaves them in the dust. Compressing an hour of high-def video to HEVC on the Phenom was a painful 6-7 hour process; on the Xeon's, it took 2 hours. On this chip, it takes under 20 minutes. I can go from POST beep to login screen in 5 seconds. It's so fast it's scary, and that's with only some old 2133 memory. I'll be grabbing some 3600+ memory at some point and seeing if it improves more. For now, I'm enjoying running compiles that used to take 10 minutes in under 20 seconds. Highly satisfied.
