    Had purchase this online but it didn't come in on time so went to the big box store to purchase one of the best processors made by intel at a decent price. Super fast with lots of processing cores at 5.0GHz

    Intel is back! The tech behind this cpu is the first time in the desktop world that intel has changed since 2015 and it shows. Finally intel is back on the top of the charts again and I hope this trend continues between intel and AMD. These Alderlake cpus are the ones to buy right now (you dont need a DDR5 board) if you are looking for a top tier gaming/workstation PC. That might change in the future but right now these are the cpus to get.

    Significant performance jump, single core due to new architecture and multi core thanks to extra E cores. No need to get the i9 for gaming, general use and even productivity unless you have some specific requirements

    Upgrading from a Skylake i5-6600k to this Alder Lake has been wonders. Although a Z690 motherboard is expensive for this cpu, it is still worth it considering the amount of features available.
