— (Writing this review on a Chromebook with this CPU). This CPU is a bottom barrel variety chip. The most this can do is media consumption and typing up documents. It will struggle to do any photo editing beyond Google Drawings and does not possess any multitasking capabilities whatsoever. tl;dr: Does what it was made to do, but it was made to do the most basic tasks possible.

— The low 2.3GHz base clock makes this CPU actually somewhat nice to use in the 2019 MacBook Pro 16”.

— The hell was apple thinking putting this in the 2017 15” MBP, my god this thing is beyond painful to use in macOS Ventura or anything after Mojave for that fact.

— Pain of a GPU, it’s just a red GT1030. It’s in the 2017 15” MBP and this thing will hiccup running macOS Ventura.

— Abundant VRAM for all your 3D modeling needs.

— One of the only Rocket Lake CPUs that aren’t a waste of sand. However this thing is a beast mode gas guzzler of an i5, I’ve seen mines draw 160w at stock.

— Get a 3080ti instead.

— Tip for those of you using a 2019 Macbook pro: Putting a tower fan behind the mac actually makes this card perform the same as an RX570

— Virtualbox runs faster than this
