Media Reviews
Independent perspectives and scores from published reviews.
Tom's Hardware
The reviewer concluded the processor is the best value in the ~$200 range for mid-range gaming, largely due to its efficient 10-core design and the cost-saving ability to pair with DDR4 memory.
Paul Alcorn
PCMag3.5/5
The reviewer noted that while the CPU offers a competitive core count and multi-threaded performance for the money, its lack of integrated graphics and lackluster single-threaded speed make it more suitable for budget gaming rigs rather than high-end builds.
Michael Justin Allen Sexton
PC Gamer
The reviewer labeled it the best budget gaming CPU available at the time, praising its performance and the affordability of its platform, despite noting a higher power draw compared to the previous generation.
Jacob Ridley
Club386
