### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good performance
*by A***A on 12 September 2024*

Wanted to wait a few months before submitting a review - this processor works great for the price. I had to replace multiple parts in my computer awhile back, which was a pain, but it's in much better shape now. Good processor for my uses, both gaming and online school work.
