Review: Intel is good - I have went with Intel the last several builds and you cannot go wrong. They are very robust and seem to go on and on. I like the onboard video also. I have used AMD and they are good too, but I believe Intel is superior definitely. All a matter of personal opinion I know, but I have sure had great luck with Intel processors. I bought the 9400. Good price and is definitely "Snappier" then i thought it would be. Performs well. Will clearly recommend.
Review: 5 stars - I have it for more than 5 fears already and works as day 1.

*by W***M on January 31, 2021*

When paired with a good GPU/Good monitor you can get all the frames you need. Do everything you need from work to gaming to music to movies and more. Very easy install or upgrade for your current motherboard. Took me less than 5 minutes. Even thoe its not an unlocked CPU i still get 4Ghz of cpu power with intel boost. A very good buy.
