    Purchased to build a cheap Minecraft/Roblox rig for my kid paired with a 5600xt. Works like a charm with good bang for the buck, plenty snappy enough for like gaming or basic workstation/productivity tasks. While it has a fairly small L3 cash the high core count and decent Zen 2 frequency makes up for it.

    Ryzen always pulls through, I have been AMD since forever, and Ryzen fixed every flaw! I have never bought a Ryzen I was unhappy with. Bang for the buck. In all honesty I’m entry level so I Dont do all the extra bottleneck stuff etc.
