What Buyers Say
Intel Core i9 9960X 16-core LGA 2066
The only review is a 1-star complaint about receiving a used CPU instead of a new one, with visible thermal paste residue. The Q&A section provides basic compatibility and technical information but does not address the user's negative experience. Overall sentiment is very negative due to the product condition issue.
Pros
- Compatible with LGA 2066 socket
Cons
- Received used instead of new
AMD A-Series APU 7800 4-core Socket FM2+
The AMD A10-7850K APU is generally seen as a capable quad-core processor with integrated graphics, suitable for budget builds. Users appreciate its performance for the price, but note that it requires an FM2+ socket and may not support PCIe 3.0 without a 'K' suffix. Some questions remain about cooling and 4K capability, but overall it's a solid choice for entry-level systems.
Pros
- Quad-core performance
- Integrated graphics
- Good value for budget builds
- Supports 4K resolution
- Compatible with FM2+ motherboards
Cons
- Requires FM2+ socket
- No PCIe 3.0 without 'K' suffix
- Cooling concerns
- 4K capability unverified
