Incredible processor for cheap,
If you build your own systems and want to build a “low power” or home theater type system I highly recommend this processor. This processor is nearly as powerful as it’s bigger brothers the Pentium G and i3s. For the money this processor is a best buy.
I built an HTPC system using this processor and am thrilled with it. 1080p video streams smoothly. So far this processor has handled with ease everything I have asked it to do.

|Ultimate CPU for the money,
This is probably the best budget CPU of all time. It runs cool and quiet and is incredibly powerful. The reviewer that said this CPU runs hot obviously installed the heatsink wrong. I have a very tight case with no extra fans, and the CPU idles at 35C and goes up to about 52C at 100% usage when gaming. I paired this CPU with the ~$50 Biostar H61MGC motherboard and a GTX 550ti video card, and it absolutely rips. It can run almost every game at max settings. You can’t get a better CPU for your money. If you spend triple, you’ll only get 50% better performance in games; not worth it if you ask me.
