I have brought this processor from lamington road,not from flipkart as it was not available at that time.Been using it since 2 weeks.The performance of this processor is just mind blowing,i was confused as to whether take this or 8350,coz i use my pc for heavy rendering,editing and also tons of gaming coz im a vfx student.My pc runs for 12+ hrs per day,so i chose intel over amd as intel has a slightly better edge when it comes to durability and in rendering stuffs.(checked all benchmarking s...

I didnt purchase from flipkart.. i ordered from abroad by the help as it has not been available in india at that time.. so didnt care about the budget. i have been using from August last week 2014 just after the release of this processor from intel... i was waiting for this pro to be released and built up a rig ... :) . it's a mindblowing experience with it. i am a intermediate gamer , editing and for my academic purposes.. am 100% satisfied with devil's canyon....

This is an amazing processor. It remained stable even after overclocking(went upto 4.7GHz without any performance issues). My gaming rig is as follows:
MSI Z97 Gaming 7 Motherboard, Core i7-4790K CPU, AMD R9-280X GPU, WD 1TBx2 Blue drive, SanDisk Ready Cache 32GB SSD, Corsair H100i CPU Cooler, Corsair Graphite 230T Case and Corsair Vengeance Pro 2133MHz* RAM.
The performance was outstanding and I faced no lags while playing games at high settings. I would recommend this processor to anyone...

READ it to GET RIGHT REASONS TO BUY THIS Processor:
I am soon going to buy this product,but as in right now Flipkart is charging more for this than any other site out there.Flipkart is the most reliable online shopping site but also generally they charge much higher than others.The Processor itself is very good & best beast in its class,It can be easily called as the most Powerful Balance between the no. of CORES (More no. of Cores is not ALWAYS a good thing as most of the time their utilisat...

Bought this processor two months back and I found it pretty impressive . The most cool processor even @ 4.52 Ghz Overclock on stock heatsink it doesn't cross over 50°C at 60% utilization.

I found it easy to overclock with a ASUS H97 Motherboard which comes with a software called AISUITE which helps to overclock easily and one click to tune up for the best performance .

Take this processor if you can afford or else go for i5 if you are short of money , there is only small fps variation betw...

It's a nice chip. But it throttles very quickly due to heat.

Needs a really good cooling solution to use it at it's peak potential.

Apart from that it's pretty good for it's price range.

Writing this review to help people decide whether they should buy it or not...

I have been an AMD user (Phenom II 965, then FX8350) for a while and, honestly never bothered to switch to intel due to budget and ofcourse, ignorance thinking that i7s are just gimmick. I have been a gamer for almost a decade and I love to see my Rig perform.
Trust me, no AMD processor can even come close to this processor - be it gaming, rendering, editing, compression, encryption, decryption, temperature, powe...
