    Incredible performance for the price, blown away by how Ryzen 5 continues to improve as a lower cost CPU. There may be better versions of this CPU now, but, this is a great standby.

    The processor worked, but I wanted at least 8-Cores and 16-Threads. I was able to get a deal for a Ryzen 7 for about the same price. Nothing wrong with this particular processor at all.
