    The only con i have is that I had to wait to have it shipped. It to toke over two weeks to ship to the BestBuy locker location. It was in original box and was as described. i installed it with no issues. I'd buy again

    Holy crap I finally realized how much of an over powered cpu this is, like any game i run at it it honestly never goes above 30 or 40 percent usage and I have all my games on highest frame rates and graphics. I have it paired with a rtx 3080 ti which is amazing

    If you’re trying to be a one-man show then this process will handle gaming, streaming, video editing and music production for a great price. Sure, the 7900x and 7950x are out but you can build a nice PC around this one for a cheaper price.

    Great CPU although its slower for gaming. Great for more professional applications. For gaming I would suggest the 5900x for faster boost clocks.

    This processor is just ludicrous, with 16 cores and 32 threads, this will accomplish everything your pc needs like it's nothing. My only complaint (if you want to call it that) is that this cpu gets extremely hot, make sure you have a really good cooling solution for it or the temps will climb.

    At first I thought I had a faulty unit since it was running so hot that it would shut down when running a cinebench benchmark, but I wasn't aware that I overclocked the CPU thru bios by mistake. This thing needs to run at stock... no overclocking needed!
