Very easy to install and works perfectly. Thanks for such a cool processor.
Installed it quickly and seamlessly. Would buy again.
Definitely a good buy. Works like a dream, easy to install.

I've been investigating other CPUs for my LGA-1150 socket motherboard. i5 is the best.
Intel Core i5-4570 is exactly what i wanted it is a great product awesome thanks.
Liked the price point and the ease of install. Low power draw too.
Thanks for the good processor. No problem with the sockets FCLGA1150.
Big drawbacks: the z87 or 1150 sockets are not compatible with older software.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"

AMD Phenom II X4 960T CPU Processor

This processor is quite fast I have it in a mid budget computer and it has never failed me.
Great processor, haven't tried unlocking yet because it pretty much handles anything.
It is super fast, and future proof for years to come. I'm glad I bought this particular processor.
Good CPU, 3.0-3.4 speeds should be good enough for most people.
It has a Turbo which increases the Clock Speed to 3.4Ghz for an instant speed boost during demanding software.

Intel Core i5-4570 Desktop Processor

This is represents an economic choice, although not quite as powerful as the Intel Core i7.
Even though this has low clock speed, it'll reach 3.4 GHz or 3.6 GHz.
It's a superb mid-range CPU even with the lack of overclocking, and the stock cooler indeed works fine.
Pair it with a good GPU and you should be able to run pretty much anything.
Unfortunately, no Hyper-Threading or overclocking support.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"

AMD Phenom II X4 960T CPU Processor

It's got massive L3 cache, If you're using "slow" memory chips , this makes a big difference.
I'm still using an older AM2+ MB (DDR2). And the processor is doing just fine.
I love the size of the L3 cache about this processor, it can handle everything I need.
I have 16 GB of RAM and the chip works like a beast.
Excellent processor performance. L3 6 MB and I am pleased with its work.

Intel Core i5-4570 Desktop Processor

Good Max memory size. Everything is working fine.
It`a good CPU, getting older now but still good nonetheless.
I won't be overclocking it's plenty fast just like it is. L3 6 MB and it's good.
