Yeah astounding value when I read in the article that you can pair this $199 CPU with a $65 motherboard and get such great gaming and general PC performance.

Great CPU, I must think if the 8 core big CPU is really what I need now. Maybe this smaller one and a upgrade in lets say 4 years?
But to have the upgrade path open, the Motherboard should support the 8 core properly, so I guess the 65 bucks one will not be ideal.
Options options
"Combined with the performance the ZEN2 cores poop out it all makes this a proper mainstream processor series."
Is the pooping a typo?
I like it eitherway

Personally, I find this more recommendable than the 8-core Ryzens for the average gamer.

This is a better value than the 3600x. Great budget gaming CPU for the future. I have a feeling I will be building a few low cost high return PC's with this CPU.
