Looks like a pretty good deal, have been looking for this for a while as an upgrade. Sub $200 from the US. Doesn't seem to be a prime exclusive.

Close to ATL. Good price.
Much better off with a Ryzen 7500F :)
what is price and performance difference?
If you stick this in your motherboard, what happens? Is it that simple to upgrade?
wut
It works or it doesn't work. It's that simple if you got a compatible mobo.
Unlikely to be that simple.
You'll need to ensure that your RAM and Motherboard are compatible.
If they are compatible, its likely will not benefit much
Ummm this or keeping my i7-9700 ummm
Don't bother with Intel in 2025, much better off going AM5 with something like a R5 7500F or R7 7700.
Multi-threading performance is significantly better but you are in for an additional $400-$500 to also upgrade your RAM and motherboard.
i'm upgrading from a 12100f here
I remember this being a good contender to like 5600x, 5700x even the 5800x. Now, Intel really messed up with their new naming scheme.
