Tested good, scored 27576 on Passmark benchmark test. Was packaged well. Runs relatively cool for the power it has.

It outforms is or almost the same as the 9950 and 9800 in gaming.

Latest 12th generation intel CPU with graphics onboard. Will replace CPU + PCIe graphics board at much lower cost! Update: I am not a gammer. The graphics component of the CPU outputs pristine Hi definition video.


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.

High single thread performance. As with all Ryzen, multithreaded performance is rock solid. Pair with dual rank RAM, or 4 single rank DIMM's for the best performance.


- FAST! - Multi-core tasks are ridiculously FAST! - Did I say FAST?!

Works great, great price, fast shipping, actually received what is shown.

Has no problem with daily computing. I seldom have time for games so not the source for that kind of info.


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.


This processor is a slightly slower version of the Ryzen 7 7700X but which fits in a much lower wattage range and is cheaper, while still being much faster than last generation's 65W processors. I prefer lower wattage components because I hate it when they bake my office in the summer, and I don't feel bad about using them for lesser purposes like file servers when they're obsolete. Who would want to run last decade's 170W processors as a home NAS? Plan ahead.


Amazing Single core performance Good idle TDP (30W recorded) Very great boost clocks Very nice prize and performance bump compared to a 12600K

I don't even have the words for this, but this is the processor the almighty has in his gaming rig.

+ Affordable for my needs + Can be over-clocked + Great CPU for the non-gamer + Average Temps well within specs + Wraith Cooler does fine for temps
