The processor runs great. The game bundle that was supposed to come with it never panned out. Redemption instructions never showed up in my email.

It doesn't work, I wanted to exchange it for another one at the store but they told me it was impossible, I don't need my money back, I need a processor to be able to work, I don't use my PC to play, I use it for work every day, I hope you can help me

It's cheap and fast enough to upgrade an old motherboard which does not support for nvme 4.

It came with bent pins, The thing was returned to Best Buy and to this day I have not recieved a refund or compensation online or in store because of a lazy and nasty attitude from the lady up front.

Excellent CPU, and for under $100 you can't beat it. I paired it with an RX 6700 XT and I've seen no bottle necks playing at high settings. I also bought a Thermalright Peerless Assassin and the CPU hasn't gone above 65⁰C! Definitely recommend!

Well worth it for a great budget build

Purchased this specifically for a budget VR gaming system, paired with an Nvidia 3060 Ti and 16GB system RAM. Have no issues playing Half Life: Alyx on Ultra settings with an HP Reverb G2, haven't tried much else yet, but I'm sure it will handle it fine.
The lack of PCIe 4 support makes no difference to me in this use case, as PCIe 3 is plenty fast enough for gaming, and I have this running in a cheap A520 board which doesn't support PCIe 4 anyways.
Considering I bought this for less than $85, and it was close to $50 less than a Ryzen 5 5600 at the time, this CPU was well worth the purchase!

Been gaming on this 5500 and so far my bottleneck has been my rx 7600. Still wish I got the 5600 or 5600x.
