16 core 32 threats. Powerful and less power demand.

- AMD low power, high performance

Nice speeds Nice power draw Nice temps

Rock stable, fast and actually runs cool as long as you have a 360 AIO. Gaming 65C, idle around 30-35C. Looking at 4k gaming and this is only around 4% slower than a 9950X3D and cost's much less! Productivity apps and gaming all run smooth and stable.

Had an article pop up about the i5-14500 being on sale on newegg, I was happy with my 12th gen and didn't really think I needed an upgrade. But I was also planning on buying BF6, so when I saw a bundle with both items I couldn't resist! Got a little bump on FPS for most games and I get to play BF6 on launch. Couldn't be happier

- Cheap - Meet requirements of pretty much everything

Can't say anything more than wow. Intel has done it again. No wonder they are the foremost in their field.

* Thermal paste is included on the heatsink * Comes with cooling

Processor works as advertised. I have a feeling that there will be a fix soon for the gaming with either a windows or Bios update. I was right the latest bios and windows updates have improved it`s performance. Works much faster and better now.

Unit functions incredibly well. I upgraded from a 2700x to this. Heating is a tad high, but I usually don't exceed 70C under heavy rendering load in photoshop or a game, which is fine. If your still running a 1000 / 2000 series Ryzen, this will be an immense upgrade, and is well worth it.

Tons of cores

- Fast, lots of cores. - Decent single core speed. - Cheaper than a Threadripper, similar performance. - Game and compile on the same machine.

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

- 12 Cores 💎 - 3D V-cache 🤩 - One of the best non-server CPUs (April 2025)

Fast upgrade from 12900k 6ghz outta box AI overclock Price vs last two chips Same socket

High FPS, 300+ in Fortnite

It lives up to it's specs. I won't be overclocking this thing, so can't speak to that. It's easy to install - orient it correctly and just drops into place.


-Awsome for photoshop and video making -Awsome for gaming -Awsome for streaming
