Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the exceptional performance and high FPS this processor delivers, enabling effortless multitasking and smooth gameplay. Many appreciate the significant performance boost compared to previous generations, although some note the high price point. While some users report high temperatures under heavy load, others find adequate cooling solutions mitigate this issue. Overall, the positive feedback on performance outweighs concerns about cost and heat.

    Beast of a CPU that is very stable. Power hungry.

    This CPU needs a beast of a cooler and power supply to run but it is really worth it. Very stable and no crashes. Much better stability and plug and play compared to 2 other systems I've built (5950x and 7950x3d).

    Really under satisfied on how capable it is paired with a 4090. There are times where it runs great but just getting way to many stutters and weird heating problems.

    I decided to upgrade my 12gen i7. To the new 13gen i9. Then I thought I got a faulty one did my research before deciding to return it to best buy. All I had to do was update the bios with a usb stick. That was it!!

    Overkill for most setups, but solid generation. Probably not worth it for only gaming but if you dabble in multi threaded workloads it’s great.

    I would say a great cpu if there weren’t so many problems can’t run at standard settings have to under clock for games to not force close on me for the problems yet to be fixed by intel that’s why the product was rated a 3 star
