Intel Core i7-10700 Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 4.8 GHz LGA 1200 (Intel 400 Series Chipset) 65W, BX8070110700

I decided to base my new DAW on this processor and Im glad I did. Using Cubase 10.5 I am only seeing about 25% of the processor being used at any given time. I dont intend to use this computer for anything else but it is imperative that it be quiet.

Its been around 3-4 years since my purchase of i7-6700k

Good job Intel! Idles at 38 with stock fan and fast as heck!

Muy buen procesador, Intel I7 10700 el mejor de todos.

This cpu was bought for an all around use set-up. Cannot complain. Integrated graphics are doing everything I need until gpus become less scarce and more affordable. UPdate: Did purchase a workstation video card for now and this system is working beautifully. Doing everything I throw at it, so far. I do have a higher core/ thread count chip for more intensive projects, but not what this one was built for...

great product - Amazon helped me when the original order didnt get delivered.

This is very decent CPU performance wise but Intel needs to be more transparent with their SKUs. This is not a K model cpu so it isnt unlocked to overclock. Therefore it would be absolutely pointless to pair with a Z series motherboard unless you plan on upgrading later...even then its pointless since Intel always requires a new chipset with each new cpu generation. So dont be like the top review on this page and buy this cpu and pair it with a z490 mobo...waste of money

Very useful component for a computer. I didnt have a CPU for months and the other parts seemed like a waste of money.

I dont care much about overclocking, and this seems a good spot on the price/performance curve for the Intel side.
