Average quality, not an outstanding product.

In fact, this percentage is needed only for those whose work specifics and software are "sharpened" for multi-threaded processors and for those tasks where this gives a significant gain. For the rest, I advise you to look at cheaper (and even faster) six-core models or wait for other models and solutions.

Pros

I bought the BOX version, I liked the cooler in it - it's easy to install, it's beautiful with backlight, but ineffective. A promising and generally more productive AMD platform with which this processor works, take at least Pce-4.0 for NVMe (B550).

Cons

Performance. I expected more, if we discard all the "marketing stuff", then in fact, it increased by only 40-50% compared to the "ancient" i5-3470. Yes, here now couch specialists will start yelling that in multi-threading it tears many people there, maybe so, but in everyday tasks it loses even by a third to the cheaper i5-10600 (k). The processor is much hotter and more gluttonous than the i5-3470 with the same TDP! And this despite the fact that it does not hold the declared frequency of 4.4 Hz. Maximum 4.1-4.3 Hz that I have seen in games. It's in stock. Enabling Precision Boost Overdrive does little to change the situation, only adding temperature. Nothing to say about overclocking. Even modern programs and games cannot work effectively with this chip. For example, in the new Cyberpunk 2077, the processor load does not exceed 50%, despite the fact that performance rests on it! So for games, the option is not very good to say the least .
