Offered pretty much same performance as i7-9700K but without ability to OC and has lower base clock and all-core boost clock. Would opt to buy i7-9700K instead because this CPU is priced same as the OC-able counterpart. [Oct '19 ColdSpy]

Nothing Special. Just a everyday CPU. Here's my recommendation: - No-Medium Gaming depending on GPU (No gaming-Minecraft Java) - Medium WorkFlows (Intense Program + Two Light Programs) - High Web Browsing (HTML5 Games, Online 3d games, etc) [Feb '21 Aora]
