Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Even on the eve of 2023, it loads a video card like the RX590 8 GB at 100%, and without straining (25-30% in the dispatcher). All office tasks, including browsers with dozens of tabs, a movie, a drawing or a model in AutoCad or Compass, will not even be noticed, you can collapse all this and start the game - there will be no difference, if only there was RAM. An excellent option for a budget used assembly, where a more or less modern video card will cost 3-5 or more times more than this processor and all its "strapping". And yet I decided to change it to R9 5900X.

Pros

Fully functional even at the end of 2022, Multithreading. Overclocking capabilities, and quite justified.

Cons

Hatred and contempt for him on the forums and in the comments, terrible performance in all kinds of synthetic (not having much value in real conditions) tests. On the performance comparison graphs, somewhere at the level of Pentium or even Celeron of those years, in general, it is always somewhere at the bottom. Bad reputation on sites that specialize in reviews and tests of "computer hardware". In resource-intensive games - simulators or apparently not optimized for such "junk" strong brakes. According to rumors - a strange 2x4 modular architecture in order to be the "first people's eight-core", and therefore really weak in the "single thread".
