Can't be overclocked and lacks HyperThreading
Conclusion
Single Thread Perf Still Trails Intel
Runs a little hot (in our testing)
Higher Peak Power Than Predecessors
Max Overclocked Frequencies Still Much Lower Than Intel
No value-oriented 400-series motherboards
Single-threaded performance still lower than Intel's
Limited overclocking potential
Memory still a bit more problematic than on Intel
Lacks integrated graphics
Slower at games than i58400 (with a fast GPU
Limited overclocking
Especially with Wraith Spire
Stability problems on the 300series boards. Overclocked and generational gains are limited for gamers. The R7 2700X's Wraith Prism cooler struggles during heavy OCs

Solid value, Impressive multi-core performance, All chips unlocked, Lots of motherboard choice
Single-thread is better but not great, Limited all-core overclocking headroom
