In May 2025 I picked this up for $74. Seeing how the market is I don't think it's a bad buy, but they're milking the margins a little on these. Performance with a GTX1080/RTX2060/RX5700 are overwhelmingly held back by the GPU.

These specific dies are their laptop hex-cores that didn't make the cut with either cache or GPU performance so those are fused off and TDP turned up to 65W. 16MB cache instead of 32MB.

It's actually a lot worse now compared to 2020/2021.

I recommend spending a little bit more money and getting a better processor.
