    Cpu barely has to try and my games run beautifully. Lots of head room for anything I need to do or play! Fantastic chip and boosts to 4.1ghz easily and reliably

    I popped it in and haven't felt a regret yet! Easy to say though because I've been rocking my old computer for like 8 years so this upgrade was immediately impactful, but yeah, I'm happy!

    I was lucky to get on launch day. This is my first PC build so I can't really compare to other CPUs, but mine easily boosts past 4.6 Mhz. Perfect for gaming with a few background programs.

    CPU is really fast and great. Temps are low with a simple single fan Noctua air cooler. Coming from an i5-3570k, it's a huge upgrade.

    Awesome. Still running strong after 1.5 years. Have not really needed more power then this, but that is obviously workload dependent.

    I was once again seeking the balance between high performance and high cost. Although this processor achieved the goal, I still preferred the Ryzen 7 8-Core.
