good value low tdp cpu
one of the best value cpus to come out in the last 5 years. Power efficiency is insane. Using less than 10w at idle and is able to tie previous 8 core I9 processors for multicore performance. doesnt provide the same performance as some newer amd offerings but have seen less driver and motherboard issues on 12th gen intel platforms
