AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler - YD270XBGAFBOX

Caught this on Cyber Monday for $172 after tax. Switched from an Intel i-3, which isnt a fair comparison, but does relieve the cpu bottleneck when paired with a GTX-970. Games run much smoother now at 1080p, 60fps.

I had the 1880x before this. This CPU is a really sweet performance boost. I game, Photoshop and edit video. It crushes these tasks with no problem.

Great processor.

Ive had it for almost 10 months and it runs both faster and cooler than my 1700x in the same setup. Good bang for the buck, Im glad AMD is more than back in the cpu game. For the moment I wouldnt recommend anything else for most of my customers. An original Intel guy since the 8086-8. A system builder for over 30 years.

Beats Intel

Love it

although this CPU was powerful at the time of its release in 2018. I just dont get it why would spend 450$ on a CPU that original MSRP was 289$? while you can buy a Ryzen 5600x for 289$.

got this for upgrade-ability.. dont see a need to go faster when i rebuild my computer again later this year ( want a full sized ATX board and much better graphics card ).. the better graphics cards take most of the load off your CPU anymore.. so the best of the best really isnt needed, unless you are crushing quantum physics algorithms by the truckload daily. even serious gamers, would be able to use this processor TODAY.. which is almost a year later since i bought it.

Cool

I got mine on black Friday and was going for $159, if someone told me just a couple of years ago I would get 8 cores 16 threads processor I wouldnt believe them. AMD for the win, finally a worthy competitor to put Intel in its place.
