Even though I was debating between 6700k and this, I think it was a nice upgrade for me.

Much needed upgrade from the intel i5 4690K CPU as it was lagging a bit and couldn't handle a simple stream from OBS until I made the upgrade with the MSI Z270 motherboard and the boot up is faster than the old one.

it's a decent upgrade

Upgraded from a 4th gen i7, this work much better and very much recommend, although if your running a i7 6700 from the research i did, it isn't a big enough upgrade to be worthwhile, but for me since i had an older one it was a great upgrade

Perfect upgrade from the i5 to enhance my video and system performance.

Has been a pretty good upgrade over my i5 4670k

Great proc running real well in my gaming rig solid upgrade from any i5.

I retired my 5 year old Ivy Bridge i5 3570K that was running at 4.5ghz, and this has been a significant upgrade for gaming

Great upgrade from the i57400

Great upgrade to my i7-4770k

This processor was a pretty ridiculous upgrade over my 1st gen i7 930 and has left me in a great place for future proofing.

The upgrade from an i5-4460 to this is so outstanding that I couldn't be happier

Would recommend the upgrade to anyone, who streams and games in the same machine.

easy 5.0g (;

That said, as well as the fact that this stress test is a hilariously unrealistic load, some users might consider this configuration to be perfectly fine

Sure, it's great that Ryzen performs as well as and costs half as much as a $1k
