    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.

    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!

    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.
