I'd guess about 30% increase in overall computer performance.
Used this CPU to upgrade an older Dell desktop, and with the BIOS upgraded this CPU has performed very well. Without a formal measurement, I'd guess about 30% increase in overall computer performance; faster startup, faster application starts, etc. Since Intel CPUs are pretty reliable, I'm hoping this faster CPU will last for another four years, and extend the usefulness of my older computer. As far as installation, cleaning contact surfaces (lint- and dust-free and dry), and applying fresh thermal conductive grease on top of the CPU (just enough to cover the top surface), before installing the CPU heatsink, is critical to proper installation and operation.
