I’m able to get these for $409 from microcenter which is an absolute steal.

I know the Ultra 265k is a hated CPU but for that price and getting a 3nm 20core chip I find a hard time justifying a Ryzen 9700X which was the other option.

My usage is mostly gaming, but simulation heavy and single core heavy. I’m seeing great single core results from the Ultra 265k?

What am I missing?

Plus it seems it has stock DDR5 6400 support?
