    Was worried from reviews online, but coming from a R7 3700X, WOW. What an improvement. My framerate has doubled on average in most games using my 4070. I did not realize my old CPU was bottlenecking me so hard. And this CPU uses way less energy to get the performance as well. Win win.

    I just upgraded the majority of my computer, motherboard, processor and gpu. This was my first time building because my previous build was gifted to me. This processor was easy to install (with guided help). I was so stressed out about messing up and ruining the whole computer. It turned out great and now my games load in so fast!

    This CPU is excellent, I was kinda sad when I wasn’t able to get the 7800x3d. But I couldn’t care less anymore, this CPU works amazingly, i haven’t even gone about 70% use while gaming. Highly recommend if you want a powerful gaming pc

    if you get this for the right amount, it seems like a really good value. i don't need the crazy X3D version, and the ryzen 5 from series is really affordable, but i feel like this should be more future proof.

    Performance well for the cost. A little faster than i7-12700k at single core tasks. Given its paired with DDR5 ram vs i7 normally with DDR4 it actually outperforms in most all cases.

    A huge upgrade from my i9-9900k. In Cinebench, i got 4311 on my i9, with this AMD 9700x, my cinebench doubled in performance to 8933. An incredible uptick. Performance in games is massive too.

    Awesome power efficiency and has been great for both gaming and productivity work, I did get it pretty cheap as it was already on sale for $30 off and I had a $50 certificate and a $25 gift card to use on it so all in all I ended up getting it over $100 cheaper than normal
