I honestly would have gone to a higher specced cpu but for the price and the face my system died i could not refuse this cpu and motherboard upgrade especially since i was on am4 at the time. I am water cooled so it keeps the temps down and unlocking the 105W mode gave it another 11% performance boost!

Fantastic cpu hands down,
Better performance better single core slightly higher power usage but phenomenal. If your a hardcore gamer this is as good as 3D cache cpus but 4% difference in latency which is not measurable to eyes take the leap. A great choice for those who can’t reach a 3D cpu in stock the difference is so small I’d recommend this instead

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.

Amazing cpu! Was hesitant between this and a older one and Best Buy employees helped me to the right choice. Blazing fast and you can definitely feel the difference in power consumption

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 has great performance. It is quick on daily tasks and even games at a high level. Best Buy also price matched a competitor so it was an even better deal.

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.

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.

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
