Very good processor, especially when its $50.
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.

Good for basic tasks. Lack luster for gaming
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.

Wonderful CPU! Much better than the dated Athlons
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.
