It overclocks well. My bus frequency is 125, all-core boost near 5GHz (stock 3.9GHz) at 1.15V. Benchmarked 5.3GHz at 1.37V — a bit slower than R5 7600. Sad Intel removed BCLK OC in Raptor Lake and later. Would be better value if DDR4 boards were still supported, but now better to save for entry-level AM5 and DDR5.
