This was the first CPU I ever installed on my own. I am thrilled with the speed in everything I do, especially video editing.
I ran a test converting a 30 minute 720p HDTV show (.wtv file) to MPEG on both my laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T6500) and my new desktop (Core i7-2600). My laptop took 4.5 hours, and the desktop took 34 minutes!

Greatest i7 CPU to ever hit the market thus far. This thing time and time again blows the 6 core i7 990x, 980 and 970 completely out of the water. Considering that this unit costs a little over $300 and the i7 extreme 990x, 980 970 cost two to three times that amount and it still out performs it says a lot. Until SandyBridge-E comes out this is the most powerful chip out there for consumers. Recommend both this processor and the gigabyte p67 Motherboard for best use and reliability.

I just got it two weeks ago, very nice performance compared to the corei7-950 and may be even less hot, not sure since am using it with a nulman cooler.
