Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent performance. If you start to bottle neck, you are likely looking in the wrong place. There is an issue with the TDP draw being set too high out of the box, but easily rectifiable and man oh man does it work. Serious performance. At this price point, you likely are less worried about value and more about raw performance and it delivers.

Great processor and great price. This makes my pc so quick and for gaming and running multiple apps at one time I have no issues at all.

I for the life of me couldn't figure out my pc problem and when I took it in they had some trouble at first but by the time everything was said and done they had found and fixed my issue with amazing speed. Can't recommend geek squad to enough people but the Destin location has by far been my best experience.

Gave it 128 gigs memory, 1TB SSD and 4 TB 7200 HDD to play with. It runs in FTL mode... Amazing performance. OS and apps launch immediately.

Great processor with amazing performance. Unfortunately DDR5 has some growing pains with gaming and using 4 DIMs with XMP. It will likely (in some cases like with CoD - certainly) cause games and even your to crash. You can easily fix us. We’re just using two or dims with the motherboard and you’ll be fine. I also recently switched from a 7950 X to this because of the boot issues at those processors I’ve had for the longest time they graded give me performance but I definitely recommend this if you don’t want to worry about new generation adopter issues.

Better then I expected. Just need to be aware of overheating. So a high performance aio cooler is also recommend.

Its awesome and fast but make sure you have a great cooling system. It gets pretty hot.

Amazing product and great processor does hot under load

It runs HOT. Like, super hot. But if you cool it right, tweak the voltages a bit, and use good thermal paste, this processor is a BEAST.

I built a gaming rig for a cousin using this cpu when they launched it and was surprised how much more performance it had over my 8086k based rig that was reaching it's 5 year upgrade cycle. I waited until just before the "14th Gen" launch to pick this up for my personal build and couldn't be happier since the newest chips don't have as much value in my eyes. I have seen a 20 percent uplift in performance in games and nearly 4x boost in my photo and video software!

Absolutly amazing powerhouse of a CPU. I have had no problems and no problems with heat while running a 360 AIO. You can't go wrong!

pretty good using it rn on my pc setup plus guys at the bestbuy who helped me setup this pc were so goated they need a raise now, forgot their names but i brought this pc back in december of 2024

Expensive but powerful. Running at 5.6 Ghz stable, using a corsair h150i the temp is under 61°C.

This processor is extremely powerful but also gets hot fast. Make sure to get a very good cooler and/or undervolt the cpu.

Best performance out of a CPU, and it handles any task you put at it. Best CPU!

Top of the line. Would definitely buy again. Great for all types of gaming.

ITS HOT SO HOT BUT SO FAST SO FAST. Top of the line for 6 months and now its time to upgrade.

Great, fast, runs pretty warm but not too bad, couldn’t get the 14th gen to work without motherboards or power supplies blowing up so had to settle for this

BEST PROCESSER ON THE MARKET. But it does run ver very hot so I would reccomend a contact frame and a good cooler.

I have to admit to being an Intel snob. I have owned more than 10 Intel processors over the years, so when the iCore 9 16 core processor came out, I knew I had to buy one! This thing is a BEAST!! I couldn’t be happier. It’s fast and stable. I haven’t had any problems with heating up due to the water cooling system that the Geek Squad recommended and installed. I highly recommend this Intel I core 9 processor for the shear power it has!
