Pros: -10 cores 20 threads provides incredible performance for demanding applications or CPU intensive workloads.
-This chip overclocks very well, I currently have mine stable at 4.5GHz at 1.47V cooled by a Corsair H110i cooler. This does produce a lot of heat which is why i stopped at this point, stress tests have it peaking around 90C in the hotter cores for me. I recommend no less than a similar liquid cooler is you plan to overclock.
-Excellent performance in both single-core and multi-core use. In single-core use tests have found it to be better by a notable margin against the chip I replaced with it, a 5930k, at the same clock speeds. In multi-core use it is fully as impressive as I expected.

Cons: -Rather pricy, but if that is the deal breaker this chip is not for you.
-Few consumer applications can make use of all 10 cores.

Other Thoughts: At this price point Intel's Xenon processors become competitive options. For those who value multi-core performance the most a Xenon processor may be the better option, but for those who also value single-core performance (gamers especially) this chip is the better option.
