Once again, a widely available (Amazon vs. Micro Center) option that could be used to build a DIY upgrade option that competes price-wise with what have typically been bundle deals from Newegg and Micro Center (as of late). This CPU model retails for $69.99 at Micro Center today.This CPU is far from a barn-burner, but for old enough systems this is a great option for upgrading your PC to eligibility for an automatic upgrade to Windows 11. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us…processorsThe comments section will inevitably include notes about AM4 being a dead-end platform and/or the relatively low-horsepower of this CPU. Of course, if you’ve been holding out with a PC rocking something like an AMD Phenom II or Core 2 Quad CPU (both actual upgrades I’ve done to AM4 systems), those considerations may be of limited significance to your intended purposes.I’m certain particularly helpful SDers could help locate some widely available motherboard platforms for this CPU. Newegg (shipped and sold) appears to have a few options from MSI and Gigabyte between $70-90.https://www.newegg.com/p/pl?N=800…rd&Order=1Good luck!Jon
