Budget Gaming Processor

I am pleased with the speed this processor posts while I am gaming.

Played some games under 60fps! Budget processor for who doesn't have a dedicated graphic card.

This processor is perfect for my needs of gaming. I was on the fence about the i7 vs this one and I wasn't disappointed with the performance.

I built a budget mini-ITX pc with this processor. The integrated graphics are fantastic. It runs Dolphin emulator at a steady 60fps and Bioshock Infinite on high at 60fps. Caveat: B550 ITX boards don't support this APU and the B450 line need BIOS updates to work smoothly. If you get this, I'd recommend an x570 board for current support and they'll also support the 4000 series when it comes out.

This processor is working well in my home server. The price point is high-end budget, but you get a high performance product (not top-shelf, but quite good). I replaced an old 55W Core i3 and this is approximately twice as a fast at the same ~60W power draw. Linux host serving files, email, and web, plus a QEMU Windows virtual machine. Get the version with the on-chip GPU if you want a relatively low power, affordable, fast home PC. Recommended.

For anything other than heavy gaming, this processor hits a sweet spot of performance and value. You aren't paying the premium for the latest and greatest or super fastest edition, but still getting most of the performance.

Upgrading from a ROG STRIX B450-F gaming board with a new processor and gpu. Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Radeon RX 7700 XT. This board handles my gaming needs fantastically. The fact that it also incldes WiFi 6 and the 4 nvme .m2 PCIe 4.0 raid enclosure. It is worth every little bit of my investment.

I've been using the processor for about a week, and it's been working great. I'm using it in a build primarily meant for gaming. Before my GPU arrived I tried playing games using just the integrated graphics and it was still very playable. Things were fuzzy, but I still averaged over 100fps.

This thing is ridiculously fast, if you need to know how fast just Google review sites, but for gaming it's hard to beat! B&H got me my processor right away after they got some in. Took just shy of two and half weeks to restock, and a day and a half to ship it to me. It was in the manufacturers packaging sealed in a plain B&H box filled with those balloon packaging things. So if you're worried it will get swiped or smashed like from other retailers, don't. I'm very impressed with B&H.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is exactly what I was looking for in a gaming and home computer! I bought a new monitor to accompany the higher processor this workstation has. The processor is an I7 and works swiftly with ZERO lag whether I am playing a video game or if I am doing a multiple page worksheet. The workstation is compact and takes up very little space. I am impressed with the overall function of this pc and highly recommend it!
