    Made the jump from a 5600G to this and was amazed by the jump in performance! This is the best value to performance you can get. Cpu utilization never gets above 50% when paired with my OC 3060TI.

    This is the best bang for the buck CPU for gaming there is. Highly recomended. Beats the 10700k for gaming, but probably not in all cores as it has 2 more cores.

    Buttery smooth performance, I expected a bit of a problem running as many tasks as I usually do on a 6 core vs my older 8 core Ryzen 1700 but so far it's been an improvement all the way around.
