    For the price this can't be beat. When overclocked gives same performance as a i9-10900k which costs much more.

    So far, this processor is a powerful multitasking unit. I use it for mainly gaming but it has the power for gaming and streaming at the same time. There is one downfall but nothing to do with the processor itself. The new z590 MSI Pro WIFI will not allow you to use the first M.2 PCI Express slot unless you have an 11th gen processor. Please read any and all manuals if you plan on building your own computer.

    This cpu has been great for the price I was lucky to get with price match of 319.99. It has performed within a 1 to 2% margin of the 10900k and I'm sure that gap would be gone with a minor overclock. With that said I'm very happy with this purchase and have zero regrets not spending the additional cost for the higher binned 10900k. Definitely recommend to anyone considering the choice between the two.

    This thing is a beast! Talk about fast loading, and great processing power I bought it and switched from an amd ryzen 5 2400g to this intel I9 and can say this thing is awesome and worth the buy! Definitely check your compatibilities before purchasing it’s a little pricey but if you wanna be set for a while on a reliable and powerful cpu this is the cpu for you!

    If you can afford it get it. it's a little monster. i keep mine clocked to 4.90Ghz, its perfectly stable and everything runs amazingly fast. primarily for games, and some work use. this one has the integrated graphics, works well enough if you want a great workstation and movies. gaming it would work for most at 4k lowest possible.
