    This thing is incredible. If you are running at 4K and have a more recent CPU, this might not be that big of an upgrade until the 5090 comes out. Anything lower than that, it is completely worth it.

    This fast efficient CPU is the centerpiece of my updated build. Was lucky that Best Buy got this in stock just as I was about to pull the trigger on a 7800x3d for a similar price. Now I’ll be able to game knowing I’ll never be CPU bottlenecked!

    Coming from i7 11th gen intel, the difference is huge, you can play the most demanding games in high at 1080p even without a good graphics card, with the 3070 in RDR2 it went up to 100+fps from 50fps. I tried it with MSI Mag x870E. I think is the meta combo right now

    Amazing Performance not just for Gaming but also for Productivity too. Just bought this for my Brother for his PC build and he noticed a HUGE bump in Performance from his intel processor.

    Quite literally the best you can get for gaming as of right now, and mine performs spectacularly. Really easy to squeeze the absolute most performance out of as well.

    If you are strictly gaming this is a beast. I run it on an ASUS Rog Strix x870-A an Asrock Taichi RX 7900 XTX It is a solid at 4k. I have zero complaints.

    I went from a 14900k to the 9800x3d and im disappointed to say the least. My fps have gone up some in games, but the overall pc performance has gone down. It takes almost twice as long for shader compilation, i use an 8k controller to game with and the fps drop by 10-15 frames when i make inputs were as this did not happen with my old i9. Ive had to make so many tweaks to the bios and windows settings to get my pc to run better. No reviewer or tech influencer has addressed the pure agony of tweaking your bios just right to make this chip run well. I give it 3.5 out of 5 solely on the merits it does what its supposed to, it effects gaming performance positively

    The goat of all gaming CPUs as of right now. You will never CPU bottleneck with this dude unless you play CS2 at 1080p with a 5090 (why would you do that anyways)
