Going any higher than this CPU for performance would lead to marginal gains in performance for at least 1/3rd more (around 50$ at least). Anything worse than this cpu isn't worth it either, as not only is it worse but this cpu is so good for it's price and so easy to put into many builds that it's just purely reliable for the years to come.

Great Upgrade for last gen of AM4

Purchased this CPU to upgrade from a Ryzen 5 1600 - a great step up in performance in modern games. Debated whether to get a 5700x, but so far no complaints. I use my PC for gaming so the extra cores and threads wouldn’t help me out that much in the type of games I play. If you’re wanting to upgrade to the last gen of the AM4 CPUs, put this on your radar. Good chip for a good price. Don’t overspend on the 5600X that is only 2% faster - you can overclock this non-x chip to get the same performance or more for less money.

These non x chips are where the good stuff is. No extreme heat to worry about, no uber cooling required. Just some solid cores with good IPC with just the speed you need. Save some money these chips are still awesome.
