Review: Best cpu hands down - Fastest cpu just a few years ago and still in the top of the class, it's only 5% slower single core than a 13900k with no microcode/oxidation problem. Runs way hotter than my i5 haha but with a good 360 AIO it runs nice and cool. So happy I have good integrated graphics for back up if anything happens to my GPU and can still light game. Its perfectly compatible with my z690 mobo just swap and play with added contact plate a must if you dare. Review: Overkill for me and Most. - This started a new PC build for me when it was on sale for $320. I haven't built a PC since 2007, so it has changed a bit since then. This thing runs hot at full load. Watch gamers nexus on YouTube. It will pull a solid 250+ watts running cinebench. I'm using an Arctic Freezer 2 420mm with a thermal grizzly contact frame and kryonaut, and it will load up to 80 degrees almost instantly without throttling but drop immediately to 25-30 degrees when the load stops. This is with ambient at 22 degrees. This thing is brutally fast, though, and in reality, outside of load testing it, I have rarely seen it go over 30% usage. The more recent i5 and i7 processors can more or less be equal in most use cases. i5 13/14600, i7 13/14700. This processor is still top-tier and will be for a few years to come. 12th gen i-series processors were a game-changer, the 13th-gen improved on them a bit with more e-cores, and the 14th-gen is looking like a stop-gap to the next big thing. You won't be disappointed; make sure to keep it cool. ## Features - Built for the Next Generation of Gaming.

If you know how to build, able to put the right parts together, may take some research to make sound decisions, this is one strong processor. I game, watch media, do design work, and video editing, and do extreme multitasking, and have not gotten a hiccup. People are ready to put down a product without doing their homework to make it run like it should, screw the benchmarks and skepticism. Build it right and the rest will speak for itself. I believe in high quality and this CPU stands up to it all in cool smooth running, and seamless tasking. I waited to make sure I'd speak up for it, and I stand behind it 100%. Great CPU. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i9 (12th Gen) i9-12900KS Gaming Desktop Processor with Integrated Graphics and Hexadeca-core (16 Core) 2.50 GHz - SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
