    I replaced my second gen i5 that I have been using for 5 or 6 years with this and it runs just as well as the last one. I am running all of my game on high to max settings with no frame rate issues.

    they claim this is a 6 thread cpu core but omg does this thing put out. I added it to my first build (limited funds) and figured it would be slower than most but since it was for my son to game on and surf the web it was ok. once my son and I completed the build and powered the system up the p.c. out performed my expectations. worth the money
