Pros
- The recall refers to the 1600 model. 1. Price - for this price you will only buy i5 with a locked multiplier 2. Productivity. You can argue about this for a long time, but at approximately the same frequencies, even in your favorite games, he will make any Kaby Lake. Yes, you can get a slightly higher fps on intel by increasing the frequency to 4.5-4.7, paying decently more deg, getting terrible heat, and this will not save you from friezes that even began to appear on i7. The performance in other tasks is very far from even the cheap 1600 Intel. 3. Unlocked multiplier. We calmly set 3.9-4.1 GHz, we rejoice. 3.9 is the best option, because. does not require a strong increase in voltage. In this mode, it does not degrade and does not heat up. I recommend not to torture the processor because of 200 MHz. 4. Cold. Really cold. At a frequency of 3.9, loading all 12 threads with a stress test barely got 60C.
Cons
- 1. Crystal packaging technology, which does not allow setting frequencies above 4.1 - yes, everyone has their drawbacks, and the first generation of ZEN received its own. Not a particularly critical drawback from the point of view of an ordinary consumer. Those who like to measure parrots are critical. 2. Memory controller. Only the lazy have not walked on it yet. Agesoy rule, like successfully. I quietly overclocked the memory after ating the bios.
