    Very powerful processor. In cinebench single core beats the i9-10900k and is close behind for milti core. Highly recommend.

    CPU is working great. I might be unlucky as I cannot seem to get an all core overlock to break 4.75 Ghz, but overclocking was never my primary goal with this Ryzen 5 chip.

    This processor is great for gaming and other tasks. Workstations should go for the 5800 or 5900 for the additional cores.
