Pros Perfection. Speed, speed, speed, potential, price.
Cons 5 stars aren't enough.

Intel was dieing with the NetBurst Microarchitecture where AMD was starting to steal Intel's thunder with its Athlon 64 processors.

Cons -Included fan is cheap<br>-Not so good for the most CPU-intensive tasks

Intel's i5 2500k is Currently The Gamer's Choice

I'm a hardcore PC gamer. There, I admitted it. When I was upgrading my gaming rig a few months ago I did some extensive research on what was currently the best CPU for the price. That CPU was the i5 2500k.
