What Buyers Say
AMD A10 9700E 4-core AM4
82 out of 100 low confidence 7 reviews
This budget APU is widely praised for its excellent value, running cool and handling everyday tasks, light gaming, and even software development without breaking a sweat. Users appreciate the AM4 upgrade path, though some note the stock cooler is a bit whiny and recommend an aftermarket one for overclocking. A few caveats include the limited L2 cache and the need for 2400 MHz RAM specifically, as faster RAM downclocked can cause crashes.

- Excellent value for money
- Runs cool under load
- AM4 upgrade path
- Handles light gaming
- Good for everyday tasks
Cons
- Stock cooler is whiny
- Limited L2 cache
- Requires 2400 MHz RAM
- Aftermarket cooler recommended for OC
