One of the best high end CPUs out there that is really cheap

Great processor, just what we need for 4K video editing.

BBY came in clutch and gave me a price match for 199

Great cpu for editing videos and gaming for everything

Great product! Always get quality products from AMD

My first AMD coming from INTEL been smooth so far.

Great price for 8 core 16 thread processor. Needed more cores for productivity then my old i7 could give and it fits the bill well.

I was disappointed.....fan is made up off cheap materials. CPU was at 99% usage at idle within a week. had to go back and buy a intel

Bought it at good discount since it’s a legacy CPU.

I purchased this processor and I think that it is a quality product for the price, however the AMD support team is one of the worst I have ever dealt with! They take up to a week to respond with worthless info - blaming terrible service on "being busy" Great excuse! hahahah

I have tried this CPU under numerous occasions for differing purposes ranging from gaming, 3d modeling, image rendering, simulation executing, and general multitasking; for the money, I have never felt like a CPU could deliver so much performance. Of course there are higher performance options like the 9th gen i7 or i9, but they come with a price that offsets their value as a result. It even comes with an RGB stock cooler and thermal solution, a much appreciated bonus to a premium yet lower priced CPU. I definitely recommend this processor to anyone looking to get into higher performance computing while not breaking their banks.

I may not have purchased this CPU in particular, but I bought a pre-built gaming PC that came with this exact CPU model and it works out very well be it for gaming or workstation related tasks (the latter which is why I purchased the PC) for it has the essential amount of cores and threads for the latter purposes. I also love how this is much more affordable compared to the Intel counterpart (Which is their Core i7). The only Con this may have is the availability of it (Or lack thereof) since this (If I'm not wrong) may be discontinued or replaced with a 3rd generation Ryzen 7 3700X. Otherwise, this is an amazing and affordable product that in addition to gaming, gives any entry-level designers or content creators the opportunity to work with several design software.

I 150% do not regret getting this over Intel's Octa-Core i7 chip. I use this processor for my computer not for gaming but for digital renderings and CAD work. It performs effortlessly and digital models/renderings load so much faster than my previous Intel Xeon processor. Sometimes high price doesn't always mean matching performance. This CPU proves that that is the case. The cooler fan that it comes with is also pretty, not that I really care about the LEDs as this is for my workstation.

CPU preforms as expected, LEDs look really cool, highly recommended.
