Plenty fast and the integrated GPU is plenty for most,
This is one of the new “ivybridge” intel cpus that feature on die graphics. This particular unit contains the scaled back HD2500 series GPU but is more than enough to play casual games and few year old FPS games without issues. The temps on mine dont go over about 110F with ambient temps in the mid 70’s using a hyper212+ from coolermaster. In the event you want to overclock this guy, make sure you invest in a decent cooler. The heatsink included is slightly thinner than the width of my thumb and I have average to small hands, really it is not up to the task if you decide to push it. If you are running stock, you should have absolutely no issues at all.
