Best Processor For Desktop Computers

I write film score utilizing three computers in tandem and this processor has been wonderful so far!

Best desktop computer I had yet

The new iMac is a perfect desktop! Beautiful design and a magic M1 processor!

I recently upgraded one of the shop computers and in addition to a new updated motherboard I chose the Intel i7-11700K processor. It was easy to install and worked perfectly out of the box. I am using a 360 AIO water cooler so the processor temperatures are within a respectable range. It operates most of our CAD programs at the optimum range and is comparable to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with the programs we use, though this processor was less expensive than the Ryzen processor.

Needed a good basic desktop for everyday home use. Purchased this Envy a month ago. Windows 10 Home 64; 11th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor; NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1660 SUPER™ (6 GB GDDR6 dedicated); 8 GB memory; 1 TB HDD storage; 256 GB SSD storage. Price inc tax 856. Arrived quickly as it was off the shelf in-stock. Simple connections, started right up with no issues and have had no problems after a month of use. Came with cheap keyboard and mouse but they work. No games or other high processor use; just basic financial, word, home info and photo storage, printing, internet browsing and communication, simple dolby stereo, bluetooth. The SSD starts the computer very fast and it is very quiet. I had to pay a little more than I thought to get the components I wanted but I hope to use it for years. I am satisfied.

For the past two weeks I have been using my new 1.5 TB Elements drive to back up my desktop system. If I leave my processor on overnight, my Acronis True Image 2012 software makes three full backups: a disk image of my C drive, a copy of all C drive files, and an image of e-mail files, after which it shuts down the processor. Since the Elements drive goes into an idle mode, I leave it on all the time. It is large enough to save multiple copies of each backup type, and is fast enough to get the job done in less than two hours.

I recently built my new desktop and chose this one processor for the build. I can only say wow! editing full-size RAW a1 files, is smooth as silk with this CPU!

Been trying to keep my trusty desktop going even though it is not the newest processor. Wanted to upgrade from 16 to 32 GB and DDR3 is an older generation bus. While I could find this product on some other sites that I've never heard of, I was glad to see it on B&H, an old reliable friend. Installed and worked immediately. This was a good choice.

I was concerned about getting an i5 processor. But this HP ENVY Desktop TE01-1165t PC is a monster. It boots up faster than my i7 Envy Laptop. It has everything I wanted and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Very happy with this processor but I am not a gamer so no input there. But man is my desktop PC fast. But then I have a Samsung 1TB 980 PRO SSD that is smok'n fast so there is that.
