It's a Xeon

Well, so far so good, i'm very much satisfied and as of today, it works perfectly.

Works well

I am using 2 of these in a server board. They run cool under full utilization. They each draw about 67 W according to a hardware manager program.

This processor does more with less power than my old I7-920; I expected twice the performance of the old processor, but it seems to be doing about 13 times the work with simulations as the old old one with half the power consumption

I can't think of any cons

Good Value and works well within a Workstation set up

I have had this CPU for a month and in that time it has not given me any problems or concerns. It is fast but no more than the i7 system it replaced. I bought this as I wanted a all round workstation for such things as video, photo and music editing and enabling me to run the computer 18hrs per day...
