I love this CPU. SO much AM4 Stuff Will fit on AM5 it's fast, it sips power! Because it sips power, I can cool it with a 40 dollar CPU Heat sink just fine! It's got a cool name, and every time I tell what I have to people, they always say "Ooh..".

Fast - improved rendering time in Davinci, improved fps in games, improved office software speed.

65w tdp, but tunable and overclockable. Running it with an AIO watercooler, runs 40-65 celsios typically. Came up immediately with a discrete graphic card. ( I was having trouble with other (similar, used, no graphics cpu , Perhaps it is a simpler initialization when the cpu has graphics? ) It is nice to have the "latest and greatest Zen 5 core., as of 2025 I dabble in performance coding / performance optimization, I wanted the full 512 bit avx512 support featured in Zen 5. This CPU is a price/performance sweet spot.


My pc is running smooth

Fast Cool Efficient High Speeds

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.

good processor, one of the best on the market,

Great chip for the price. I was able to OC it to 5.3 pretty easily. After the OC I'm now GPU bottlenecked with my 1080Ti. I highly recommend this CPU.

Works great its fast, and I'm not used to that.


- Fast - low temps

Has fast processing speed with many threads for multithreaded rendering
