Been using a laptop w/ an Intel i7-8565U since December 2019 and it's still plenty adequate for my needs and speedy. No gaming but used heavily for grad school, accounting work, remote connecting and running Windows from work PCs on this. These probably haven't been made in a few years but I wouldn't back away from a used machine with one of these, if the price was low enough and RAM and other specs were suffice.

For small compact notebooks in higher price ranges, it is a beast in most tasks. I love it!

Ridiculously slow in real world use, most likely because of throtteling.

It gets the job done, but don't expect to do anything too intensive on it.

Actually pretty decent cpu for laptops, you might be getting a performance close to a desktop 4700k-6700 with 1/7 the power when is optimized .It's main problem is the heat, burns like hell when in its full range of clock

It's starting to show it's age, not very good at thermals but with repasting, a bit of insulated pad and a cool environment and it runs at it's best. Will still keep this for the next few years

If you havent bought it yet... dont do it. This processor's biggest problem is overheating and thermal throttling then massively underperforming during normal use. Throttle Stop works very well to cut the temperatures down. Undervolt the CPU to get it working normally. I have had no stability issues undervolting -.100mV on Cash and Core. You can raise the single and double thread clock speeds but you need to underclock the 3 and 4 core speeds to prevent overheating.
