Impressive single-threaded performance; Consistently fast in games; Includes Hyper-Threading; One of the more affordable gaming chips;

Poor multi-threaded performance ; Relatively expensive ecosystem; No native PCIe 4.0 or PCIe 5.0 support;

Excellent product at a good price. Shipped the next day. properly packed with cushions, even if the couriers were rough it would have been safe! PS If you sell something of value (say order of more than $200ish) then maybe you could chuck a tube of thermal paste in as a gift, If the parts sold might need it. Then the person who "forgot" to order it might be pleasantly surprised :)

Very good price to performance

Best performance price ratio with good thermal performance

Arrived quickly, does what it should with good thermal performance.

This thing is a beast. Goes toe to toe in single core speed with the i7 and i9 K options. In my opinion this is the best price to performance option by far. With 6 cores it has the same number of cores as last Gen i7 but way faster. If your a gamer you don't need more that this.
