Pros: This chip is extremely powerful, that's obvious, it is reliable and has Intel architechure, what else could you ask for.

Cons: The Price! Enough Said.

Overall Review: I hear a lot of people blab on about comparing this processor to the AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core processor, and honestly I have had enough and I will speak out for myself. Firstly, stop comparing these two, one is $1,100 the other is $200. Secondly, AMD is vastly better in value. Thirdly, calling the AMD-8350's architecture turddozer makes you look like a flamboyant idiot, if you must compare the two atleast speak like your an intellegent adult, not like a 5th grader. Lastly, this IS a great processor, the price is just vastly rediculous and so I will never again recommend this chip and will stick with AMD 9/10 times. P.S. I will remark that the AMD-8350's benchmark was equivalant to that of an i7 in the $600 range, enough said there, Thanks Lads.
