A solid cpu
by Johna solid cpu, i was very lucky in the silcon lottery and got a sample that boosts up to 5.5Ghz on some cores with the worst of the P cores still boosting to 5.3Ghz which is obviously phenominal. The only downside is finding some reasonably priced DDR5 because ultimately youll need to go with DDR5 really to get the best out of it in the future as software is tailored for the new tech. It peaks at 85 Deg C using a decent AIO.The benchmarks all look great but in reality for a gamer my old i9 9900KS was just as good with a decent GPU so if your running a Z390 setup and just mainly to play games save your money in honesty as you wont see much improvment, but for encoding etc its a good leap
