Awesome CPU i7 860 does better than Ryzen 3 2200g a newer CPU on benchmarks already unlocked this website is Soo wrong with 4 cores 8 threads it easily does better than ryzen 3 with newer architecture only at 4 cores and 4 threads that's like a old i5 760 FFS... easy too overclock very reasonable price just get a nice cooler master CPU cooler and overclock it too 4.4ghz stable and rock in 2019
