Socket LGA1851 What reviewers say Reviewers found it good for content creation and very frugal with power in games, but slower in games than Intel's previous Core i5-14600K and AMD's Ryzen 9000 chips. TechRadar found it roughly level with the 14600K overall and not enough of an improvement to justify buying into a new, costly platform, a concern PC Gamer shared over motherboard prices.
