Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

Well, now the conclusion, we waited a long time, got what we have ?:
Finally, threads have appeared for all processors (except for celerons), it's nice, and multithreading is already relevant, and it's high time to catch up with AMD, where without threads you can't go anywhere.
The processor is productive, if we take it, like me, for games, then it is equal, and it will even be a little better than 3600. In work tasks, based on all kinds of statistics, it loses, let's hope they "optimize", and at least catch up.
Before this processor, I had a 3600, I can say for sure that in the pursuit of performance it is definitely NOT worth changing it, I can’t advise upgrading to it, and if you have 8-9 generation processors, i. E. without HT, live longer and that's enough, and then 11 gen will come out, and motherboards will be available, but now it's clearly not worth it.
another comparative note that, as it should be for processors from intel, I inserted it and forgot, I had to ate the BIOS from 3600, although I had far from the first revision out of the box, and it’s not difficult for me to shaman with voltage, I can do it , but do all of us know a lot about BIOS settings?

Pros

Adequate in price, at the time of purchase and writing a review it was equal in price to the boxed counterpart from AMD r5 3600 Good performance, in work tasks, of course, I will not speak, because. taken for games, like its competitor 3600, it shows a decent result, it takes out 144 frames perfectly. Quite cold, even colder than 3600, in stress in Hades no more than 55 degrees under the same cold. It boosts well, takes the declared frequencies immediately and to the fullest, as promised, well, this is Intel :) 6 cores and 12 threads, at the moment the golden mean, and in the near future it will most likely be so inserted and forgotten, boost, voltage immediately normal and does not require intervention

Cons

The disadvantages are not the same and the disadvantages are sucked from the finger, but for objectivity I will still write them in: There is no overclocking, BUT, it is not particularly needed. Boost works, performance is good, why drive something that works great out of the box? Well, 10600k (kf) has not been canceled At the moment, there are no motherboards available for a processor of this level, and not only it, from 10,000, although I would like the mother and this percentage to fit into 20,000, but alas, only 25,000 and this is the minimum. The lack of evolution of the video core, it’s not really necessary, and even what we have would be enough if you use it in office tasks, but how long have we been fed uhd630? :)
