Pros: Great reviews

Cons: is it still manufactured?

Other Thoughts: Hi I was wondering if this item will become available again or is it done? been checking in always says out of stock.

Pros: low power compared to AMD
ability to overclock if i should ever need to
running strong for 2yrs in a z87 sabertooth mobo
excellent for gaming. powerful enough for all the latest games

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: upgraded from a 2.4ghz core 2 duo. feels amazing, lightning fast. I didn't see the need for spending another $150 on an i7. the i5 does everything i need it to and hasn't really struggled.

Pros: -Easy to install
-Great for overclocking
-Overall performance is very exceptional

Cons: -Not as fast as an i7 naturally, but still very amazing. Can't really dock an egg for that.

Other Thoughts: I would definitely recommend this to anyone on a budget that needs great performance.

Pros: Killer chip, Killer price (when I bought it anyway)

It's been going strong for many years now and it still crushes

Cons: Nope

Pros: FAST OUT OF THE BOX

Cons: POOR OVERCLOCKING

Pros: This is just snappy in all situations. All games I have ran @1080 with a r9 290 are buttery smooth.

Cons: It'a just too bad I don't have a waffle maker to make waffles to slather all this buttery goodness on.

Other Thoughts: If it was a car it would be in the same class as this review was titled. Personally have a i5 3570k running at 4.5ghz, and this is just better. Much better.

Pros: Awesome CPU for my gaming needs.

Cons: None

Pros: -Fast
-Fast
-Fast
-Intel

Cons: -Cost, I guess.

Other Thoughts: Upgraded about a year ago from AMD phenom ii x4 965. Night and day difference. I can't even complain about the price because it's such a powerful processor and I don't anticipate upgrading for years to come. I do hope AMD's Zen chip brings some competition into the CPU marketplace because as much as I love my CPU, I would like to see competition.

Pros: Excellent performance, overclockability is really great to have when CPU power is required, powers down when the CPU doesn't need to do much. 4 cores. Runs stably and reliably for hours upon hours upon hours at 4.2 GHz.

Cons: No hyperthreading. Doesn't reliably overclock past 4.2 GHz using the airflow-based cooler bundled with it (non-Intel). Intel HD Graphics 4600.

Other Thoughts: It's a great Intel CPU when paired with a fast discrete GPU and other high quality components.

Pros: easily overclocked to various speeds.

Cons: beast to cool.

Other Thoughts: runs great. great value. very hot.
