I come from an i5 4690k, no complains about that processor. But wow, everything is snappy now! Most apps loading is almost instantaneous, with the same SATA SSD that I used before. I had to manually adapt my old cooling system, because the mounting size was different, but eventually I will change it. This CPU takes more power that my previous processor, so when it hits 130 or 150 watts the AIO fan spins and the temps go up to 80+ or 90+ °C. Power saving mode from the mobo helps when it happens if you dont want to keeo temps at that numbers, but I guess it's all normal with this moddel. Iddle temps go from 28 to 34 with an old 140mm Corsair AIO. Below 100 watts it remains under 70-80, again I assume it's normal. The degradation issue reported with 13th and 14th generation got me worried for sure, but I got my mobo updated to the lastes BIOS, so we will see how it goes. For 175 dollars, no other CPU was close in performance. Great value and performance overall so far! Read more

Potenza eccezionale per un i5 Read more

Cpu bruto, custo benefício pelo que entrega, nessa geração veio forte batendo em i7/i9 de gerações anteriores. Sai de um i7-11700k e obtive o dobro de performance com melhor eficiência energética e até mesmo temperatura pelo tanto que sobe no clock , mesmo em stock todos os núcleos performance trabalham a 5.1ghz e ainda tem margem pra subir mais com oc. Games cpu bound como Marvel's Spider-man obtive um ganho absurdo em estabilidade e taxas de frames e elevou o uso da minha rtx 4080 que antes ficava em 50% de uso em 4K Dlss qualidade. Muito satisfeito. Read more

Excellent CPU, great gaming performance, and the midrange King of Productivity. Typical of Intel, it just works flawlessly with everything, 14 cores & 20 threads deal easily with heavy work loads. Fast, 5.5-5.7 Ghz overclock, no problem! Efficient gaming chip, uses a little over half the power as a 9th Gen 9600k (that's with a 5.5GHz overclock) and UK summertime in game temps rarely exceed mid 50°C's. (cooled with 280mm AIO) Flexible, use with DDR4 or DDR5, so there's a wide range of mobo's to choose from. Impressive CPU. Read more

Beast gaming CPU. Very powerful. But also very power hungry so make sure you use an appropriate cooler. Read more
