Socket AM5 What reviewers say Reviewers agree it is fast, efficient and easy to cool, with strong single-threaded and gaming performance for the money. The common reservations are that it trails Intel rivals in heavily multi-threaded work and comes without a cooler; PC Gamer found the cheaper Zen 4 chips not much slower, and KitGuru advised gamers to wait for the X3D models.
