Pros: I have a philosophy that anyone who buys processors based solely on the benchmarks between them is a fool and must be punished. I built a small system using this processor, 8GB of RAM, and it outstripped Intel's famous and fearsome i5 Ivy Bridge processor by a considerable amount. Even today, it is faster than most ordinary computers I have come across, the computer is already about 3 years old. I love the Atlon series. They're cheap, efficient, reliable, and extremely easy to maintain. I cannot think of a more successful series of processors, and this is by far my favourite part of the series.

Cons: absolutely none.

Overall Review: I would still buy this processor today, if it were still in stock. If you want a quiet, reliable, processor.
