Best gaming cpu ever!
Amazing processor, beyond impressed! I had a 7800x3d so the gains arent as massive coming from a different processor but where this excels in an upgrade is the temps, 1% lows, single core performance and overall productivoty upgrades. I went from 67c gaming to 54c. Hogwarts legacy i would have 1% low dips below 60fps at 3440x1440p with an RTX 4090. This would cause stuttering, especially in the castle. This has aleviated that and dips arent below 80 now. This processor has been exactly what all the reviewers are praising. If you have the cash this should be your next cpu if your a gamer and want the best of the best!

The Best CPU, worth it!
This CPU is an absolute beast! upgraded from a 7500F, and oh man, the difference is really nice, specially when you go lower graphics. Overclocked to 5.35 MHz, and curved optimized it, with motherboard power limits. didn't go over 85 Celsius on a full load for over 30 minutes on a 240mm aio. 64GB of Ram Clocked at 6000MHz CL30. cinebench R23 score was 23773. which for me, is way more than enough. if you have a chance to grab one, and you have minimun a 4070 Super. you won't regret it.

PC Gaming in 2025 - Best pick
Amazing product. AMD is killing it in recent generations. I socketed this into an x870e mobo and was getting boost clocks near 5.4ghz with no basic overclocking. -20 undervolt and it still clocks the same with far less heat. I have seen people over clock these things to unprecedented speeds (YouTube). I use an air cooler (peerless assassin) that is more than adequate for this under heavy loads.
