Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great processor. Most up to date and it does productivity super well. AMD is a powerhouse these days and make great processors.

Easily one of the best purchases of my adult life. whether I'm gaming, editing videos, or having a hundred google tabs open at once, this processor runs like a dream, it's fast and rarely reaches 60 degrees celsius, even when running DaVinci video editor.

Impressive processor. Plenty of cores/threads for everything you need. Undervolt to get a bit more performance, better temps, and efficiency.

upgraded my 2700x to this one for the new instruction set and I will never look back. Made my computer run smoother in all applications very happy with the purchase. Bestbuy was great also they matched a cheaper price from another vendor. Thank you for that it was nice to be able to walk into a store and leave with what I wanted. With todays market we can't always do that anymore.

Wow i am so happy with this cpu purchase, i had a 5600g before with 6 cores. This cpu is a beast and priced a great deal.

I upgraded from an i5 9400f and couldn't be happier with the performance increase. Temps never get above 65c with a kraken 360 aio and usually hover between 59c and 61c under load. If availability wasn't a problem, I would have picked a 5600x as it is a much better value for gaming. $450 is a little much for 8 cores but they still ended up with my money so....

Super fast processor! Loved the cpu even though I had to send it back, which was all on me for thinking I could handle this in an itx air cooled build. ended up getting a 5600x as its a 65w cpu. But, I wish i could have used this as the extra 2 cores would help keep the build more relevant longer. Best Buy has a simple and easy return process. Their pickup system and shipping products system is fast, easy and convenient. They have earned 5 stars too.

[Employee of bestbuy] Works perfect, sale price is amazing! Fits the msi board we bought perfect.

Games runs smoother and streaming is smoother. Love the speed and is just a great processor.

I have this paired with 32gb of DDR4 3600 and an RX 580. The boost it gave over my old i5 4690k was huge. My CPU score in 3DMark jumped over 250% which means the IPC of this CPU is over twice as fast as my previous. Yes my GPU is a bit of a bottleneck especially at 1440p, but until the mining craze subsides I can’t really fix that. Using Ryzen Master I got an all core OC to 4.95Ghz just using the auto OC button and it has been stable for weeks. I honestly wanted a 5600x but with limited availability on all CPUs I jumped on this when I saw it was in stock. No regrets, would buy again.

Picked up one of these when I couldn't get a 5900x. I definitely don't regret it. It's very fast even with PBO off, which I did to help keep temps down. It does run a little warm (idle 40 to 50c 60 to 70c gaming and I've had it up to 89.5c running benchmarks) but it just chugs along. Make sure you have a robust cooler. All in all, great CPU just runs warm and price to performance ratio is off.

Insane cpu! This runs my pc smoothly and is one of the best on the market for CHEAP!

I recently upgraded from a Ryzen 5 3600X and I'm so glad that I did. This cpu is great. Faster speeds and more FPS.

This processor performs like a champ. Worth the money for sure. Paired with some fast memory this cpu is beastly.

Great CPU, crushes everything I can throw at it. I got it for $275 and I can’t imagine finding a better cpu for the price

Definitely money well spent, Im glad I have waited for the right time and it’s honestly the best cpu I have ever purchased my whole entire career building PCs. Other reviews may say “it’s only good for gaming” that’s false because it’s the best gaming cpu on the market for AM4 and you can use it for other tasks other than gaming because it works fine just like 5800x.

Outstanding processor. I originally wanted to get a 9 5900-x, and I had some concern this could bottleneck my GPU (RTX 3090). According to Benchmarks, bottlenecks on tests are 1-2% IF present, and I haven’t noticed them. Warzone at max settings with 140-160 FPS in DLSS. Haven’t tried streaming, so don’t know how multitasking will hold up, but otherwise, I don’t think I could ask for better performance out of the PC I put together with this product.

Very powerful cpu. Upgraded from a 2700 ryzen 7. Noticed big difference paired it with a asus x570 motherboard.

High performance, 8 cores. What more could you want? This is perfect for gaming.

This does a great job of doing tasks, and it will overclock 4 sets of memory properly, unlike my ryzen 5 5600g
