    Best CPU bang for buck nowadays! Amazing cpu for productivity, very stable, didn't have to mess with any settings other than XMP on my ram which runs wonderfully at 48gb 7200mhz. Seriously this cpu is underrated.

    Great CPU! I’ve been in the majority of people needing to upgrade but putting it off. Coming from a 9th gen i7 it’s night and day. Time will tell!

    Good for gaming/workspace. Only issue is because it's new, I had to upgrade my motherboard to something that allowed for this model.

    Great chip, worked straight out the box. Been using AMD for a decade+ and it was refreshing just having something work first time go.

    Intels new series is a different direction in processing power. Allowing more processing with slightly less power draw. And faster ram speeds are quicker than quick.

    Couldn't go wrong for the price. Best Buy currently has the lowest price for the 7 processor. I found a two month old gutted Alienware r16 cheap, and threw it in. Deduct what the free BF6 would cost you, and you got a core 7 for technically $190.

    The new Core Ultra series had a bit of a rocky start until Intel and the motherboard mfgs. got together and Intel made some microcode changes. This CPU is hitting the expected benchmarks on my new W11 machine, about 2x the i7-7700K in my W10 machine.
