What reviewers say

The 1400 supplied useful multithreaded performance at a low entry price, with overclocking helping its gaming results. TechSpot found it a strong partner for a mainstream graphics card. ServeTheHome was less convinced by its Linux workstation value; faster Ryzen models offered more headroom, while the need for a separate graphics card reduced savings against Intel systems with integrated graphics.
