Intel Xeon E3 1230V2 Review
Pros: Cheap, Hyper Threading, Great for the price
Cons: No iGPU, cannot overclock
Pros: Cheap, Hyper Threading, Great for the price
Cons: No iGPU, cannot overclock

Pros: Technically 8-core, 4.0Ghz base clock, lots of cache, AM3+ socket
Cons: overclocking is heat limited very quickly

Pros: Great Speeds, never close to full load during gaming, and loves to be OC
Cons: Can't think of any

Pros: Excellent overclocking potential, an 8-core processor that's now under $160, it handles anything I throw at it very well.
Cons: The only real drawback to AMD processors... the weaker memory controllers compared Intel Core i7s
“Decided to switch to a 3770k from a 2500k when I found a deal for $220 from a fellow OCN member. It is a delidled chip and I personally sanded (or polished) the aluminum plate on top of the cpu die and also the side that has contact with the CPU die itself with a 1500 grit sand paper. Temps with an EVO cooler has been excellent. ON STOCK settings IDLE temps are around low 20s and Highest temp...” --akbisw
“This by far the best bang for your buck when looking to build a gaming Rig. If you put the money into an aftermarket heatsink and OC you will not need a new CPU for many many years. This thing is simply a beast” --DarkChaos205
“Purchased several of these from the local Microcenter for use in my builds -- and have never been happier with performance and overclocking capabilities. Comfortably overclocked at 4.6GHz, the i7 2600K shows no sign of performance issues when playing some intense online games, or when working with resource intensive applications. The processor also has Intel Virtualization Technology Support,...” --vercomtech

“The AMD FX-8350 is a very fast processor and handles my video rendering with ease, even at stock clocks. However, to really see the benefit of it you must have programs that use all eight cores (threads if you are using Windows). Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas both love this processor's extra capabilities and utilize it to its full potential. Single core performance is still quite...” --speedytech7
“Basically that's all I need from a CPU-a power house that will be handy when I need it. Besides the price, I have dysfunctional GPUs in my system (stupid seller doesn't want to replace them) and when they ain't working properly I have to shut down the whole shebang and can't use it for a while since there's no on-board GPU. Well, it's these 2 extra cores instead of the onboard GPU so I think...” --dominox64
