It was one of the best budget CPUs at one point in time. The lack of availability made them overpriced. I was lucky enough to get one and was thoroughly impressed by its speed and energy efficiency compared to my R5 2600. There are probably newer better CPUs for the price now.

Excellent budget processor. I'm confused as I was under the impression this would be under $100, but I paid $120? Either way, for a 3rd Gen processor, and what this delivers, it still felt like a great deal.While AMD's listing shows Base Clock at 3.6GMz, with a boost clock max at 3.9 GHz, I was able to use UEFI's OC Genie to get 4.17-4.20 GHz steady. I'm running the stock fan (Wraith Stealth Cooler). It also allowed my Ram to run 3000MHz steady OC.For reference I'm using RTX 2060. I've been able to run GTA V at higher settings and obtain up to 90 fps depending on the scenario (Grass settings at Ultra was a frame-killer). GTA V is a fairly CPU-Heavy game. Minecraft also ran perfectly for me, the RTX Beta version ran smooth as well with this CPU.I have 3 intake fans and 1 exhaust fan that all helped to maintain a cool environment for the CPU.

Ok, this is a very popular chip for a reason. 4 core 8 threads, excellent GHz, excellent price. But there is 1 problem. I have built countless PCs over the yeas. Servers, workstations, cheap, expensive, you name it. I watch Linus tech tips, today's #1 AMD evangelist.Yet somehow I didn't know that this chip HAS NO VIDEO CAPABILITY. You MUST buy a discreet video card for this chip.I see where it says it is capable of very high FPS gameplay "with appropriate video card." I get that. What I understood was that you can get HIGHER FPS if you put in a discreet GPU, not that you get ZERO video output with no discreet GPU.I can't be the only person to make this mistake. Pls put in a clear disclaimer that this chip REQUIRES A DISCREET GPU.really, this is a 5 star chip but you get 4 stars for the hassle I endured on my build. 10/10 will buy again, don't worry, and next time with a discreet GPU from the start.
