    I bought this to replace my Ryzen 7 3800x and I am noticing a bit g difference. I no longer experience fluctuating FPS but instead constant max FPS.

    It took months of bios updates to get it stable, but it's been quite a reliable CPU (no random crashes) since. Very fast.

    This chip is a multi-threaded monster. It rips through photo editing and video production like nobody's business, and it was an upgrade that was definitely worth it!

    Amazing performance value when you can get it on sale. Although since new Ryzen chips are out, should likely look there unless you get an excellent deal on this generation.

    Best CPU there is right now in the current market. Lot of multithreading potentials, and this core proves that AMD is not the same company from 10 years ago.

    I upgraded from a 5800x and couldn’t believe the difference in fps in games with my rtx3090ti. I am glad I upgraded especially the at the price they are now.
