Amd Graphics Card With An Intel Processor

Caveat: I've only had the processor installed and running for a week. The processor price was retail, the shipping was super quick, and I appreciate that B&H notified me when stock was available as promised and I was able to follow the prompts to order with no issues. Packaging was sufficient and the product box was in perfect shape upon arrival. Installation was easy, I hadn't used an AMD processor before but it simply drops in the slot just like an intel processor. The AIO cooler install was ok, I found it difficult to align perfectly before tightening the screws so it slid around a little bit which isn't ideal for the thermal paste, but not too much... I hope. But it was quick and easy technically. I recall having more annoyances with the intel backplate style install on prior systems. The processor functions perfectly as far as I can tell, and scored very high on UserBenchmark software even relative to the same hardware in other systems. I haven't overclocked anything, and haven't done any real tough workload tasks yet... but so far along with the high end graphics card and storage the PC is insanely fast and snappy. So I think all is as it should be. Played the opening sequence of Star Wars Squadrons and performance was perfectly smooth, though that might be more due to the graphics card. Thanks AMD for the great product, and B&H for the great experience. If anything changes I'll try to update the review here.

Snapdragon is a quick processor, more than Intel and AMD for a laptop. This one has some great features that work together with Windows. I like the cam login. The PC is in reduced power the second you leave, then starts right up as soon as you sit down. There is also more security with Snapdragon. Copilot+ gets better results than the desktop version. The only problem was an old 2014 Canon laser printer would not install. Three other new printers installed in a minute.

AMD has blown Intel out of the water with this new processor. Superior performance and quality. Highly recommended!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have been using Intel for last 10years. First time using AMD processor, haven't felt any difference yet. Working smooth great performance. I like the build quality as well. Thumbs up.

Blazing fast. Best bang for buck Intel processor for under $250. I would take this over AMD 8 core any day.

Recently made the switch from intel to amd with this processor. the performance is impressive for the price, and runs cooler than my intel setup. Sufficient for my needs in gaming and photo editing.

I ended up upgrading from a AMD 3600x running on a B450 motherboard. While the AMD wasn't a slouch I wanted a little more future proofing and something that last 3-4 year's running DDR4. I thought about upgrading to a B550 and 5xxx processor but with the USB troubles AMD has had off and on. There attitude of being a small company when it comes to there drivers. I decided there was more value this generation in intel. Overall I am extremely pleased and the computer in General seems more snappy and responsive. I am sure part of that is the upgrade from PCI-Express 3.0 to 4.0 as most my components run the 4.0 standard. I don't think you can really go wrong with the intel processor this Generation. They might use a bit more power but unless your running the computer 24-7 under high work loads I don't see power consumption being a issue.

I like this processor for general office use. It has not let me down yet. Graphics are integrated, so a separate graphics card is not necessary so long as your motherboard supports it. B&H are great to do business with. I have not yet been disappointed by the shipping times. Prices are usually fair as was this processor.

I upgraded from an Intel i7-4790k. I didn't think this processor would make much difference because I have a nice graphics card (gtx 2070), but in VR games like Rec Room and I've noticed a huge difference. In rec room I used to have glitches that I thought were just from the game, but with the new processor I've now realized it was from the CPU not running fast enough. I'm very happy with this processor.

So far so good. The processor is being used as the center of a no graphics card build. Works well and seems to fine.
