    Very powerful unlocked CPU matched with the right motherboard will allow for some nice overclocking on demand. The CPU is rated at 3.25Ghz but it will idle at around 4Ghz with no issues. I did have some lockups playing games so I had to dial back some off the auto overclock features on my motherboard and it stabilized. I use it for VR applications and the 20 cores make it all silky smooth. It’s an enthusiast level CPU so the price is a little high but well worth it for higher demand applications.

    Great performance to keep up with a 3090 or a 3080 in some cases. Clearly priced to move ahead of what AMD is beginning to offer.

    Great processor with 10 cores at a very reasonable price. I'm not a gamer and use my PC primarily for high-performance computational work for my engineering research. Even better than the processing power is Intel's vast superiority when it comes to driver optimization and software integration. Tools like the Intel Math Kernel Library, which is essential for scientific programming, work seamlessly. The iGPU was essential too because of the current GPU market.

    Great alternative to the 10900k. It is essentially the same. The 100mhz clock difference is negligible in nearly all benchmarks and games. In fact, this CPU may provide higher scores due to the 10900k exhausting it's TDP quicker. Read the review on Techpowerup. This is a real winner.
