    The speed at which the processor operates in everyday use.

    During the execution of demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency may automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency.

  • Cores

    The natural individual processing units that the processor has. The more cores a processor has, the more efficient it is in running multiple applications simultaneously. For simple use, 4 cores are sufficient, while for gaming and video processing, at least 6 are recommended.

  • Socket

    The processor socket type.

  • Maximum CPU Speed

    The maximum processor frequency is the frequency that the processor can reach when executing demanding applications that use one core. Generally, when running demanding applications (e.g. games), the frequency can automatically increase up to the Maximum Processor Frequency depending on the number of cores in use. (the fewer cores are active, the closer they can operate to the maximum frequency)

  • Unlocked

    Ability to change the processor clock settings to achieve higher operating frequency (overclocking).

  • Cache Memory

    Cache is a very fast memory that acts as an intermediary between the processor and RAM. It stores data that is frequently useful to the processor for faster access.

    I have been using it since 2020 and it has caused me a lot of problems. I mainly use it for editing large images and I had been told that it excels in these things.. until I tried it myself and it was a complete disappointment, but maybe for other uses it can indeed be excellent.

    I have had this specific processor in my possession for 10 months now and I use it in many applications (mainly video editing) as well as games. For cooling, I have the Noctua DH15. Starting from the stock state, the average temperature at idle is around 25 degrees and reaches around 70-75 degrees under full load (4.3 GHz). The lowest power consumption starts at 23W and reaches over 150W under full load. Overall, it is a power-hungry processor. In terms of performance, it is excellent for multitasking and rendering. It even provides a good boost in games compared to a mid-range i7.

    Overclock:
    (1) The first stable overclock was achieved at 4.6 GHz. This result is relatively easy to achieve with a few settings in the BIOS and is perfectly stable. From various benchmarks I conducted, performance increased by 10-15%. Power consumption increased significantly and temperatures rose by 5-7 degrees at idle and under full load, respectively.
    (2) The next stable overclock was achieved at 4.8 GHz. It requires several settings (vcore significantly increased but below 1.3), but ultimately became quite stable. Temperatures increased by approximately 5-7 degrees and power consumption reached high levels (85-88 degrees under full load and consumption up to 250W). Performance increased by at least 5% from the benchmarks I conducted and even reached the performance of the Intel Core i9-7940X in specific tests.

    In regular use, rendering, and gaming, the overclock provides a good boost.

    Overall, it is a very powerful processor that has performed exceptionally well in many tests and applications. However, it is expected that due to the high number of cores, power consumption will be increased and temperatures will rise significantly under heavy loads.
