Terrific, very fast processor.

So far I love this machine. Fast processor! What an amazing product. Useful as a tablet and then snap on that optional keyboard/cover. Terrific!

Very speedy chip that served as a nice drop-in replacement for an i5 in one of my systems. It handles everything I throw at it with relative ease, and frankly it's hard to find any fault with it. I haven't overclocked it yet, but at 4.0GHz stock/4.4GHz turbo, I'm not exactly compelled to do so. That said, the stock cooler does run a bit noisy during high intensity workloads, so I'm planning to replace it with an aftermarket cooler soon.

Able to overclock with Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility at "slightly above specs" to 3.6 ghz.  Probably past 4.0 with the "aggressive" option, but just in case I don't want to wear out the hardware.
I do a lot of 3D work, and this is a dynamic and fast processor.  The 3D renderer takes advantage of the Hyper-Threading and displays 8 rendering cores instead of the 4 I would expect..  A great value versus other high end intel chips ( I paid $300). Look into this or a top end AMD for this price range.

Did not use the standard cooling fan included (overclocking raises temp considerably), installed a simple liquid cooling system as recommended by my tech..which worked out great.
Comes with a nice shiny case sticker :) Just what I was looking for:  Blazing speed at an incredibly low cost.

Very fast performer for a relatively low end cpu.  98% of computer users don't need more power than what this provides.

I could not ask for a better processor for the price paid.  It really made preparing my Christmas dinner much easier.  I can hardly wait to find more uses for it.  Plus, it's big enough for a large family.

This processor is really fast and it runs just about any game on high quality without lag this is one of the best processors ive ever bought

60 Sec from out of box up and running. Smooth , very quiet, takes up little room and is very powerful and fast. The i5 processor is amazing.

As performance: excellent
As price: not really.

I own this processor for 2 years now. And it processes everything it comes across; never gets slower.
Always fast as you expect it to be.

Looks super sharp in my new rig, performs very well, and I'll likely buy another kit when I have enough funds to upgrade to 32 GB.
Pretty easy to set in the bios to ensure it was running at full speed 2400 MHz

I did not order this on Amazon (although I should have) but received it through a bundle deal with motherboard and cooling fan from a now "going out of business" web site. I felt compelled to write a review on this processor because it is absolutely amazing. I paired this with a Gigabyte motherboard and the results are incredible. I currently use this processor in a media center PC running Windows 10. Performance is incredible. Never a lag and the video output at 1080P handles everything I throw at it including older video games such as Fallout 3. I will mention that it was average with 4GB of memory but adding another 4GB turned it into something special. I run KODI (XBMC) along with light gaming and NETFLIX and I am yet (after at least 100 hours of viewing) to have a lag. That in itself is amazing. For under $100 dollars if you have an old PC you can upgrade it to this model and do amazing things. I highly recommend!

I've had this processor for over 2 months, and I have had no issues with it whatsoever. I'm not incredibly proficient in the hardware world (so this is not a terribly technical review), but I'm a programmer by trade and a hobby gamer. This processor has been reliably speedy, and coupled with my other hardware makes the best computer I have ever owned.

This is the big dog of processors.  Larger motor and 16-cup bowl make this a winner.  Comes with lots of accessory blades and a dough blade plus a small bowl for small jobs.  Reasonably quiet.  Very well designed.  We're very happy with it.
Two downsides:  the price, of course, and the amount of real estate this large processor and its accessory box take up on your counter.  It's heavy, about 19 lbs. (8.6 Kg) so moving it to and from storage could be difficult for some folks.  The description on Amazon says the product weight is 26 lbs, but I think this includes the accessories.
Note:  Don't wash the bowl or any of the parts in the dishwasher.  The high temps and harsh detergent will degrade the plastic.  The best way is to soak or wash the bowl and other parts in the sink by hand as soon as you're finished using it.  That makes an easy clean up and will extend the life of the accessories.  (We learned the hard way with plastic parts from other appliances.)

First Intel processor ever!! I am an AMD user from the beginning but I really like this processor. Fits my needs perfectly, it's fast and the price was right. What else can I say?

This CPU is very fast. The only complaint I have is with the fan and heat sink. The heat sink may be okay, but the fan is very small and is very noisy when it spins up under heavy use.

very fast, very good performance in both read & write^^

Outstanding processor for non-critical applications.  Built in graphics card, with the right motherboard this will mean you do not have to buy a video card.

Extremely powerful processor which runs the most demanding applications with ease...
