Good value for money

Had to replace my old CPU and there is a noticeable difference running this one instead!

Has not missed a beat

First CPU I've bought new in awhile, piece of mind, does exactly as advertised, should probably have spent a few more dollars and got something with onboard graphics, live and learn.

A great and reliable CPU

I bought the Intel 12th Gen CPU because of its price and reliability. It is a great CPU to get for not only a budget build but for gaming PC in general. I would highly recommend getting it.

Incredible performance for the price

Upgraded from an i5 6500, am absolutely blown away by the performance in games and productivity. Might recommend an aftermarket cooler for productivity workloads as the included cooler gets a bit loud under full load
