  • When I went to install it, I was a bit of a novice and I did it easy.
  • Works great. No issues on install and with daily use. Thanks Intel.
  • This is the first time I assembled the computer myself and the installation of this CPU was easy.

AMD A8-5600K CPU Processor

  • This is a great product, at a great price. If you are looking to build a decent machine on a small budget, this is a great choice.
  • Great processor. Easy to install.
  • Start a game, instant response. No lag in any of the games I have run so far.
  • Installs easily, includes fan and thermal paste.
  • If you want to build a powerful gaming machine, this isn’t your CPU.

What customers say about «Technical Specifications»

Intel Core i3-3220 CPU Processor

  • This cpu is great for the price. I’ve read that it outperforms amd fx quad cores that run at 4.2ghz.
  • The hyperthreading feature allows you simulate two more cores at fast speeds.
  • The 3.3 ghz on this baby make it very fast. Excellent processor.
  • Great option for my my budget gaming build. Definitely recommend. Just works!
  • A processor that is fast and affordable, you can’t go wrong.

AMD A8-5600K CPU Processor

  • It runs great, room for upgrading, and all at a reasonable price.
  • Nice upgrade over the A4 I had, for not a lot of money, everything happens a bit quicker.
  • Overclocks pretty good — used the AMD Overdrive Autoclock utility, it was stable at 3.9 Ghz.
  • It’s a great choice for working with Photoshop CS6, not the last one, but it does what I need.
  • It is not adequate for high-level gaming.

What customers say about «Cache And Memory Specifications»

Intel Core i3-3220 CPU Processor

  • For everyday work on a computer and not very complex tasks, the cache in this processor is enough.
  • This one is 22nm so I can use my memory at 1600 which is good.
  • I coupled the 3220 with a mid range video card and 4GB of memory. I’m happy with how it works.
  • No complaints. I install 32 GB of RAM and the computer flies.
  • Limited cache. I would like a little more for such a processor.

AMD A8-5600K CPU Processor

  • For light gaming I’m so impressed with what these integrated graphics can do.
  • I really like is the power consumption.
