    Great balance of performance and price. This processor will run all the latest games for much less than a 5800x,5900x, or 5950x. It rocks especially for Call of Duty!

    This thing is a beast of a CPU. It shreds games and video editing with no issues. It's fast and stays cool with its 65w TDP.

    This has been a great upgrade from my old FX processor from years ago. Plenty of power and low Wattage are perfect for my new build.

    Good performance and easy to keep cool. If you already have an AM4 board this could be a good choice, otherwise I would wait for Zen 4 to release.

    Paired this up with my 3080 founders. I have no complaints with this cpu. Would’ve liked the 5900 but we all know those aren’t easy to come by. Overall, great gaming cpu
