Installed and booted with no problems!

A significant upgrade over my 10 year old CPU. This was my first system build and the instructions were simple. Product came in great condition and is performing excellently several weeks in.

Fastest in the world

speed and so forth

Great price in combo, very fast in windows applications, for me great in games as well. 200s boost for some extra power.

Decent gaming performance at stock, performs notably better than my overclocked 7700x Excellent overclocking performance, gets similar gaming performance to my 7800x3D after tuning ram (running DDR5 8000 with manually tuned timings) and overclocking the cores, D2D, NGU, and Ring Ridiculous multithreading, it's an ultra 9 285k in all but name. in many cases it's faster due to the increase uncore clocks at stock. Absolutely shreds my rendering workloads. no Price, $300 is midrange tier pricing in the big 2026 unfortunately. But this CPU is very clearly very high end.

More efficient than 14th gen for sure, you can cool it with dual tower air cooler, when doing cinebench multicore test didn't get past 80c degree /without OC/


Just surprised how good this actually is. Gaming has been great. Using 212 cooler master, stays under 70c with lower fan profile speed.
