Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a great low cost processor. Runs some of the most intense games out of the box. No frame drops in any of the games i've tested. Great value for the money. I've used this cpu for 2 years, now it seems closer to 3.
I have an ibuypower prebuild that came with an 8700k preinstalled in an asrock motherboard. Bought with a asus rog b360-g motherboard about a year ago now. Overclocking is a snap with intel's easy overclocking utility that comes with alot of tools for... Read More
Ghz on all cores is super impressive. Ghz on 1. Ghz all cores no problem.
Cons
Why is intel so stingy with them? The worst part is that i live abroad and can't refund this. Save your money.

For what we paid vs what we got was superb.
In my case though, the 9900k went on sale probably a month or two after i purchased this, so that hurt my feelings a little.
Shipping

Arrived way faster than it said which was also nice!
Packaging/appearance
I really like how well packaged it came and protected.
Came as expected box had everything in it and was closed.
Came with some thermal paste which was very appreciated
Competitiveness
Cyberpunk 2077, helldivers 2, gta v, red dead 2, etc all run similar to benchmarks of my current gpu.
Value-wise, ryzen is the better buy i feel, but i had issues trying to use 1st-gen ryzen so i had decided to switch back to int... Read More
Amd and intel are on par, but you pay more with intel for better efficiency.
