What reviewers say

Reviews praise its rendering and encoding performance and its lower launch price than Intel's eight-core desktop chips. Manual overclocking adds little headroom. TechRadar finds competitive gaming performance in its launch tests; PCGamesN's later retest shows a small Intel lead in most games and larger gaps in some titles, favouring it for mixed productivity use.
