Very speedy chip that served as a nice drop-in replacement for an i5 in one of my systems. It handles everything I throw at it with relative ease, and frankly it's hard to find any fault with it. I haven't overclocked it yet, but at 4.0GHz stock/4.4GHz turbo, I'm not exactly compelled to do so. That said, the stock cooler does run a bit noisy during high intensity workloads, so I'm planning to replace it with an aftermarket cooler soon.

But mind the reviews and only get this one if you want to explore the other features and do NOT expect to overclock. Speed out of the box.

Fastest processor you can buy at any price. Overclocked to 4.7Ghz on stock cooling fan with 57 degrees Celsius under extreme loads.

What can I really say about this thing other than its great! Out of the box it runs from 4.0Ghz with a turbo boost up to 4.5Ghz. I OC'd mine up to 4.8Ghz running stable. Onboard graphics are great for anyone who just doing day to day desktop work or browsing and can even handle some light gaming but I would recommend a proper GPU for any frequent gamer.

I have yet to be able to stress this in the real world. I do a lot of photo editing, panoramas, and some video editing. With eight threads, have never seen system slow down even with video encoding and pano build working at same time!Needless to say I haven't tried overclocking yet, had planned on putting a slight overclock on it, but no need YET.
