I bought this to use in my daughters pc to upgrade her from a duel core Pentium g3220. Definitely speeds up the time in which her pc encodes blu rays and dvds using hand brake. My only complaint is the chip does get hot when compressing movies 72c using a stock but copper core Intel heat sink that is packaged with i5s and i7s. i may add an aftermarket cooler later on.
