Pros
Screams through slicing 3d prints. Nice and powerful, with a good amount of pep in its step. Exactly as advertised, very pleased.
More than enough for gaming. The lag was almost completely gone. Handles * and excessive photoshop + after effects work without slowing down.
Saved 40 dollars opting for this non-k cpu. What this does lack is hyper threading but i believe that’s what makes this one better.
