TL;DR - At ~£200 It sucks. Buy Intel. I'm really disappointed, I thought this CPU was going to change the market and bring down prices. The only benefit will be for games developed for multi-core processors. It should be good for BF3.
A very wise choice. If you live in the UK, check out overclockers UK, they have a nice overclocked bundle of the 2500K running at 4.2 + for a very competitive price.
What a disappointment, considering that next year we will get the 22 nm from intel. I really had high hopes for this cpu. Sent from my Motorola Xoom using Forum Runner
