    I am not a heavy gamer, but I do like to game and this processor has been perfect as a replacement for an older i5. I bought it as the mobo failed in my pc, but as the chip and mobo were so old it meant I needed to replace both. This i5 is definitely faster than the older architecture ones (my other was gen 3) and with a 3050 and 32gb of RAM, I can easily play online shooters and horrors with my friends without feeling I am at a disadvantage to them.
    As I needed to get a cpu quickly I had to get a cheaper one that if I had planned and saved for an upgrade, but despite it being under £150 it seems very well priced. Obviously for machines that need to do a lot more this might not be the chip for you but for a bit of online gaming and some streaming, I have no complaints.

    I've owned more expensive CPUs - up to AMD Ryzen 9 and Intel 13900K. In most cases these were overkill and ran hot with high wattages! Most of the work I was doing offloaded everything to my GPU so having a beastly CPU was a waste.

    I've downgraded to this CPU in my main desktop rig. It's great for productivity software (music and design work) as well as gaming. I have it paired with a RTX 4000 series card and haven't noticed a significant drop in frame rates whilst gaming. (maybe 1-5 FPS) In most games I max out the monitor's 144Hz/FPS at 1440p.

    One different thing about this CPU over other Intel offerings is that it has 6 performance cores (with 12 threads - hyperthreading) and no low powered efficiency cores. (they are only really needed for laptops anyway to save battery power!)

    The CPU is also very efficient and runs quite cool. Mine is 26c when idle and 26-30 light tasks such as browsing the web. During gaming - the temps are usually in the mid 50s. Benchmarking (such as Cinebench and Geekbench etc) reaches mid 60s. I am using a two-fan DEEPCOOL AS500 PLUS air cooler with three case 120mm fans.

    All in all - very happy with purchase and highly recommend! :)

    This product is amazing, can run any gpu really, easy to install, comes with CPU cooler so saved me a chunk of money. The performance of it is just outstanding, i mean this is not far behind in performance from i5-12600k, almost identical. It beats the Ryzen 5 5600x , but if you’re an amd kinda person, no hate.

    Ótimo desempenho com custo beneficio. Mas existe um detalhe muito importante. SEM GPU INCLUSA. Em outras palavras, seu computador precisa de uma placa de vídeo para funcionar, diferente de outros processadores com GPU inclusa. Um detalhe importante.
