It is lightning fast and can run the most demanding games and applications with absolutely no issues.
This CPU is amazing. Easily overclocked.
I use this for virtualization and some gaming. You get 8 real cores for a great price.
It is lightning fast and will do everything I need it to for a long, long time.
Best processor I ever have, it is fast and I can do a lot of thing in the same time.

Intel Core i7-4770K CPU Processor

Very powerful for the money and easily handled every stress test I could come up with.
Overclocking is a snap and the CPU remains stable even when overclocked.
The 4 cores contain Hyper-threading meaning each core is technically two individual cores.
Right now my new build boots up extremely quickly and runs very fast.
Can get to 40+C when heavily loaded, even with a lot of fans and copper heat sinks attached.
