Surprisingly capable when overclocked. I have this on a board with an external clock generator. Its been running at 5.0ghz for a couple of months, found a stable 5.2ghz setting. I was going to just use it for a placeholder, but it honestly benches as well as some of the 7th gen i7s now that I'm just going to see how long it will keep this up. If you're just building a basic pc, it should be more than capable of doing what is needed.

Fast for a 2 core 4 thread chip. And with the right motherboard and cooling can be overclocked to well north of 5 GHz. But ultimately if gaming is the goal its much better to spend the extra couple of dollars and purchase an I3 12100F. Those 2 extra cores and faster clockspeed make for a much better gaming experience. For office PCs though? Or for just browsing the web or using Microsoft Office thing is snappy and will be plenty powerful.

Really fast for a dual core -- probably the fastest ever built. Definitely worth the extra money over the Celeron. The Celeron only has 2 threads, but this Pentium is hyperthreaded so it has 4 threads. A great little CPU that gives you a good upgrade path for the future.

although i purchasedthe wrong item, the product was sent in a timely manner

Saved my computer, needed integrated graphics to reboot the bios, worked like a charm

Havent used a intel cpu in a very long time . But for the price this fit what i needed it to do . Paired with ssd and good ram nice basic home computer.

I am very impressed with how snappy this little low powered CPU is. You won't be gaming on it but for a low power general light use system, this CPU is great. It is currently running my main mining rig and only ever gets warm when it is needing to download programs, otherwise its quiet and quick. They included cooler is actually pretty nice and a great improvement over the older designed ones.

Excellent processor for light workloads. If all you need is something for web browsing and light office work, this will be a perfect processor.

While its “only” a 2 core, 4 thread CPU; its an Intel Alder Lake 2 core CPU. You’re getting 2 Alder Laker P-cores and a cooler for the low price of $45. Perfect for running a home pfsense/OPNsense/FreeBSD router.

The CPU had a problem. Didn't work. No signal or Video nothing at all. I'm not asking for anything at all. What's done my problem. Just thought I let you know.
