Cons:-factory heatsink is weak
Pros:-graphics capability-price isn't to bad Comment:
Put this cpu in a little gaming build and the integrated graphics seems to be handling itself pretty well. The heatsink that comes with it is really weak and I would suggest an aftermarket cpu cooler. If you are looking to put together a gaming system on a budget, get this and avoid buying a seperate video card. |

Cons:No cons that I can think of off hand.
Pros:Good Processor, integrated GPU, Quiet Stock Fan Comment:
Bought this to use in my latest build. It is a very efficient processor, and I would definitely purchase again. |
At this price point, it has no competition. Its GPU has enough power to run most games at reasonably high settings in 720P. With a little bit of overclocking, you can even run some in 1080P smoothly. You have to change the HSF though, it runs way too hot otherwise.
