Great processor for an office computer

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2019

I purchased this for use in the office computer at my dad's coffee shop. I paired it with the MSI MPG Z390M Gaming Edge AC. The processor was a great price and has been performing all the tasks easily. The computer doesn't really see heavy usage but for using Microsoft office and browsing the internet it's perfect. It has two physical cores and supports hyper threading. It came with a stock Intel cooler which worked well.

Spend $5 more for a far superior 2200G

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2018

The fact this is almost $100 for a dual core is absurd. The $100 2200G is a true quad core and has 3x better integrated graphics. It's a no brainer.

Good in a mid tier office pc.

Does what I expected. Handles office programs pretty well and was snappy enough for the office pc I built for the wife. For this type of work the most important component is the hard drive anyway. Pair this with a quality ssd and you have a blazing fast Facebook machine that also runs office well. Not as fast as my 8600K at 5ghz, but is anyone surprised by that?

Can't find a Motherboard!

I purchased this processor for a NAS build but I'm not able to use it. There are no motherboards that have a chipset with that supports ECC memory and this processor. I knocked a star off because of that reason.

Plenty performance running CentOS but SSD recommended.

Installed on a system with CentOS and performs better than expected for web browsing, video encoding and multitasking. Comparable to the Intel i3 8300 but costs less. Running Plex media server allows up to four streams to clients without lag. Average CPU benchmark is about one third of what an Intel i7 8700k would score.

Great budget CPU

Cut down on my wife's build by getting this instead of an i5. Seems to work fine with Overwatch and other games that she plays. Lots of bang for your buck here. Just don't expect to be live streaming and gaming with it.

Runs cool and fast. Not as cheap as intel says but still a good value.

It works as expected.

Hard to be negative on a processor... not like you didn't know what specs you were buying...
It works as expected. Installed in my untangle router/firewall, wish I has bought a processor with more cores but that's not the processors fault.
