    Runs most benchmarks around 3 times faster than my FX-8350 while using less than half the power. When gaming, I typically see less than 30% usage. I'm running games at 1080p using a 2060 Super and 16g ram. Video Transcoding is only thing I've noticed to Max the usage. Very pleased w performance and price. I got it under the Best Buy price match guarantee.
