Great CPU, works much better with RTX 3000 apparently than with some older processors like my previous I7-8700K.

Performs tasks really well whether it is for general use with multiple monitors and windows, or gaming new triple-A titles like BF 2042/Halo.

Just switched from an intel 10600k. This CPU is a bit faster and I have notice a bit more FPS in some games. Overall great performance and price.

Excellent CPU. Runs cool (for a Ryzen), is stupid fast for the price, and does everything really well.
AMD is doing really well right now.

Great upgrade from a R5 2600, no more bottlenecks with an RTX 3070. Keep an eye out however for new AMD chips in the next week however!

Pair this with a 3070 or 3060 TI if you're looking to reduce bottleneck. R5 3600 bottlenecks with cards on Warzone, hence why I upgraded to this CPU. Good Value.

Very fast processor. Feel fortunate to have purchased because demand is so high. Have to commend Best Buy for releasing some every few minutes to combat the bots.
