-16 Ryzen Cores providing excellent productivity capabilities -3d Cache on 8 of those cores providing excellent gaming performance

Works out of the box purchased with Amd 9600x cpu bundles ,Newegg customer services great.

Price for the 6 core Ryzen chip is great for my budget build the cooler is ok for now and windows 11 compatible

Exceeded my expectations with this cpu and a Rx 7800xt

Fast Cool Efficient High Speeds

Decent gaming performance at stock, performs notably better than my overclocked 7700x Excellent overclocking performance, gets similar gaming performance to my 7800x3D after tuning ram (running DDR5 8000 with manually tuned timings) and overclocking the cores, D2D, NGU, and Ring Ridiculous multithreading, it's an ultra 9 285k in all but name. in many cases it's faster due to the increase uncore clocks at stock. Absolutely shreds my rendering workloads. no Price, $300 is midrange tier pricing in the big 2026 unfortunately. But this CPU is very clearly very high end.

-Upgrade increase was with asus tuf x670e plus wifi, 32gb 6k cl30 ram, and SK hynix Platinum P41 2TB -( Previous build was i5-4690k, 16gb ram, 1tb ssd ) -Same GPU 2070 in both builds -My Oldschool Runescape saw an fps increase from 40-90 fps while doing corrupted gauntlet to 240 fps 24/7 with no gpu upgrade -World of Warcraft dragonflight went from around 70 fps load to 170 fps load WITH massive increase of graphics ( im actually leveraging my 2070 go figure. ) ( not a surprise when upgrading from a i5-4690k ) -New World, dont even get me started, this game was a laggy messsssssssss and now with this monster of a CPU i no longer run on lowest setting i run on mostly high and get around 90-100 fps. -Apex legends had so many studder issues and wow I didnt know the dream of my 240 hz monitor and how smoother things are. -Emulating with this thing is now a dream come true. ( previously a nightmare ) -Hogwarts legacy is in the same boat wow that game is so much smoother, with higher settings getting around 100 FPS definitely heavily GPU bound on this game though but WOW it isnt a studder fest anymore. ( I cant put in words how much smoother the feel of every game is aside from the FPS increase, have a short anecdote below to try to describe it )

- On Sale - Built in Graphics - ECC Support - Mini-ATX

-I have significant performance enhancement since getting this. -Was also delivered on time.

I got this item on sale, and it is an amazing upgrade for anyone with older Am4 setup. This runs significantly cooler than my 9700k, and even comes with a cooler. I did not use the included cooler, but it was a nice touch that makes the value even better.

I know its not for gaming but boy it downloads fast, and has the ability to do anything k need in a snappy manner.

-Easy to install -Really like the LGA socket on these new Ryzen chips -Great performance and I like the Eco mode for these chips

fast cheap

65w tdp, but tunable and overclockable. Running it with an AIO watercooler, runs 40-65 celsios typically. Came up immediately with a discrete graphic card. ( I was having trouble with other (similar, used, no graphics cpu , Perhaps it is a simpler initialization when the cpu has graphics? ) It is nice to have the "latest and greatest Zen 5 core., as of 2025 I dabble in performance coding / performance optimization, I wanted the full 512 bit avx512 support featured in Zen 5. This CPU is a price/performance sweet spot.

-Fast -Great OC capability -Great synergy with AMD products

Fast - improved rendering time in Davinci, improved fps in games, improved office software speed.


The produce is pretty good, 14700: with a 20 cores, did beat Ryzen 9 7950X without X3D. Pretty good...good enough for games!

The unit I received tested at the 100th percentile on userbenchmark.com , meaning the top 1% of all 3700x units. I guess I won the silicon lottery? Im happy with my purchase, other than it went on sale on another site a few weeks later for -$50 than I paid. But I guess thats the way computers work.
