I'll save us some time:
Comment: Intel is crap now, why bother just get AMD!
Reply: AMD has nothing this fast in games near this price point.
Other Comment: Intel is a dead end, AMD has better upgrade path.
Other Reply: AMD's current socket is due to be replaced too, so no difference there.
Comment: Why get a $100 CPU? It's not much more for a $250 or $500+ one
Reply: Some people can't afford those, and this is really almost as fast as those in games (which is what most people really want that fast performance for).

It’s definitely a cheap buy.. the saving grace for it is the inclusion that they seem to once again have H/T in the core i3.
Wow, is this better than my old i5 4690 haha.
Times flying
This thing pretty much matches the i7-7700K.
I would upgrade but would have to replace my motherboard and ram most likely.

Great price!
I was almost ready to buy one at $119 from Umart, but the folks over in https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/585840 swayed me into getting the Ryzen 3 3100 ($140 with Shopback @ Amazon), due the RAM limitations with the cheaper LGA1200 motherboards.
There are a lot more budget motherboard options with AM4 (to run faster memory), and CPUs this cheap are aimed at the budget minded.
Looks like a cheap upgrade from my A8-5600k. Now just need a cheap mobo
And GPU?
My Saphire HD7770 1Ghz is still going strong :)
Blast from the past
it's boring in my opinion
Been looking at this one for a while too. Wondering if we can get something sub 100…
Is shopping express delivery only? I don't seem to see an option for C&C/pickup
yep, just del.
their fees arent too bad tbh
also 3.6 over 4 cores is pretty much fine for many
Basically a i7 7700K for $99
damn, I was just about to grab this for a soon to do media server build but the f version doesn't have a graphics card.
guess I gotta keep looking. would love to get a i3-10100T
Definitely better value than AMDs offering in this price bracket
