    In a time when other mainstream sellers price gouge bestbuy remained at msrp. The queue system purchasing is very temperamental, but im happy with the purchase. The chip itself runs well for my usage of work from home and gaming. I have no complaints.

    it's a good budget processor, with intel coming out with their new gen shortly it might not be the best value at 300 for long but as of now it's a great buy

    Used this for a build with AMD 6700xt and haven’t come across any games that it can’t handle well yet. The combo seems to work well together with our other components.

    An absolute beast of a processor. I run it with a 3080 and it feels like I can tackle anything. Apex legends at 240FPS, streaming at 1080p, 4k gaming with ease. Buy this processor (at MSRP)

    CPU is a beast. Extremely happy with it's performance. In Cinebench it runs essentially the same as my Ryzen 7 3700x for multi core. It crushes the 3700 in single core. Low TDP also.
