Great processor for gaming, second best still after the 9800x3d.

Great performance, still one of the best gaming processors today.

Excellent, for multitasking, gaming and streaming. Can have YouTube running. No issues with Lennie or performance. Overall very happy.

Great cpu to have and it works effortlessly! A nice upgrade from my 5 series model.

So far, after upgrading from a 5600G, what have me a CPU bottleneck hasn't anymore. Originally wanted a 9800X3D, but with that being hard to get, went with this, as 4K60 didn't need the extra power

If you are looking for a great gaming cpu to play your favorite pc games, this is the one. Great price! Great performance!

The gaming performance of this cpu is epic - not on all titles - but many. For productivity workflows, it's not the fastest per thread performance but since it has 8 cores, it will do great in mostly everything. So this is a no-brainer win: the best at gaming and really good at everything else. This is the first AM5 socket CPU so there should be loads of future options in this platform. My modest build of Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX motherboard, Trident neo 32gb ddr5 6000-cl30, Samsung pro 990 and used RTX3080 got in PerformanceTest's 99th percentile for overall performance. couldnt be more happy

I had recently upgraded to a 4080 graphics card and was using an i7-11700k. I was noticing stutters and GPU utilization not maxing out in quite a few games so I decided to switch to an AM5 platform. The difference with this CPU was night and day and I am no longer seeing the stutters and obviously the GPU is being fully optimized now. This is among, if not the best, CPU for gaming that you can get right now.

Been gaming with this baby for a bit now and it is awesome! Runs all programs and apps great. Solid work horse for a good PC build

AMD Ryzen CPU with MSI B650 Tomahawk Motherboard. Great performance!

The price alone is a steal, atleast when i got it on discount. Improvement over previous i7 9700k is absolutely incredible

I've been using it for over a year now. This is the best processor with great speed.

Incredible performance. Highly recommend for new and builds

Excellent processor for new builder who want high performance at a lower cost

Best price/performance cpu for gaming and workload.

I was nervous to install this due to the Reddit reviews about the pins being damaged on the back. Whoever wrote those reviews obviously did not follow the instructions for installation. It was super easy. My husband is loving this system

Is amazing how the 1% lows in games raise ans the stabilty it gives to it

This cpu can fight god and that’s about all you need.

There really isn't anything better on the market when it comes to building a gaming PC. Are there better processors available? Yes. But they are obscenely priced and this one will go toe-to-toe with those when it comes to raw gaming performance and achieving maximum FPS. Computer stability has been perfect with this CPU paired with 6000mhz DDR5 from Corsair. Did I mention it was FAST???

Ripping fast in games. Very competent in productivity apps. Right now it's tough to beat this processor for its value and it's 3d Cache, which can burn through CPU intensive games.
