Incredible!

Overclocks very well on stock HSF. Have mine at 3.25GHz on stock air and voltage. Most reviews say this is the sweet spot for this chip; much higher and you'll have to throw voltage at it in unacceptable amounts. Oh, and it's running temps of about 38-42C idle (I never really stay still long enough to properly check :).

Runs video editing/encoding applications as fast or faster than Phenom II X4 series. Costs well under half what a similar chip would have cost just 45 days ago.

There's really no con here. If you want an elite gaming chip, perhaps look elsewhere. So maybe the con is that at one tenth the price of a bleeding edge Intel chip, this little guy only gives you 45-60% of the same performance... Hey, wait a second!

Seriously, if you NEED four cores for video encoding, the price/performance ratio of this chip blows EVERYTHING on the market out of the water.

We had the GHz war. We're still counting casualties from the Core war. Enter the Price/Performance war... and not a moment too soon!
