Initial Impressions

For its pricing, clearly the best value 6 core 12 thread mainstream processor out there. Pretty sure that presently nothing comes close to its cost performance for data crunching. And it is easily overclocked to run faster yet still, it remains easy to cool thanks to the soldered IHS.

A great buy!
