What reviewers say

Reviews found capable gaming performance and useful overclocking, but only small gains over the 6600K and limits in demanding threaded work. Bit-tech was enthusiastic about its 5.1 GHz sample, while PC Gamer reached 4.9 GHz and advised waiting for Ryzen; neither result guarantees another chip's overclock.
