Pros: Not a one
Cons: -Only 16 pci-e lanes = bad -No quad channel ram support = bad -No 16x sli support = bad -Way overpriced Intel totally messed this one up big time. This CPU is nothing more than a high end i5. You cannot due quad channel memory config. You cannot do 16x sli. Which is why anyone would even consider moving to this socket. This CPU is a total waste of money. To get a 2066 socket CPU that can do what my i7-3820 (which had 40 pci-e lanes) and was cheaper than this crummy processor, you have to spend over $1000. Once again, "GOOD JOB INTEL". The fact that they even created this CPU knowing all of its limitations was obviously on purpose and very greedy. I really hope they read this review and all the other reviews about this entire line of CPUs.
Overall Review: If you were considering buying this processor, "DON'T". If you read my cons you will understand. If you are considering building/upgrading your gaming system, give AMD a shot. Their Ryzen 7 line is pretty sweet for gaming.
