Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

I want to say right away that AMD is "famous" for its dubious product launches and "raw" firmware and drivers at the start. It is possible that all the problems indicated in the shortcomings will disappear over time. Buyers (mostly outside the 2022) are now looking forward to new BIOS versions (and AGESA in particular). As problems disappear / appear, the review will be ated in this comment.

I will also write here that this processor does not make much sense for games. If you choose an AMD processor for gaming, then get something cheaper.

31/07: After ating the chipset driver, the idle temperature dropped from 50-60 degrees to 40-50.
15/08: Removed a long start and dual boot from the shortcomings, because they were cured by a BIOS ate. But the voltage on the memory had to be raised. But until AMD explains why it claims Max Boost 4.7GHz on its website and how to achieve it, I'll leave it 4 stars.

Pros

1) On the motherboard Asus PRIME X570-PRO earned without dancing with a tambourine. No problems with BSOD or other instability. 2) The memory purchased for the system with a frequency of 3733 and CL17 started up without problems with a voltage of 1.44V. Profile DOCP (XMP) did not try, because there is no need. 3) Simple overclocking from under the system itself. 4) Temperatures are normal under 360 AIO Deepcool (I have not seen above 85 yet, at medium-low speeds). 5) Shows himself well in work tasks. In mine - at the level of i9 9920, but at the same time much cheaper.

Cons

1) Acceleration, though simple, but everything is sad with it. At the time of writing, it is almost impossible (even manually) to set the same 4.5GHz and pass a serious test on all cores (with a voltage per core of 1.4V), and frankly speaking, the promised automatic boost to 4.6GHz does not even smell. Overclocking was set to manual, floating on the cores - CCX01 - 4350, CCX02 - 4325, CCX03 and 04 - 4275. Voltage - 1.34. There is a real lack of the ability to set the frequency "abstractly" to 1 working core, to 2, 4, and so on, as on Intel. It is inconvenient to manually select the frequency for each individual core. Plus, it's nearly impossible to overclock one core more while the others are idle.
