I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

I bought it in October 2022 for 15k when I was building a new PC for myself, it keeps perfectly in games, there were no problems with it, except for temperatures, of course. There is no difference from 6700K in games, and if there is, then 2-3 frames, which they won’t help you much, but if you are engaged in 3D modeling, rendering and other things, then it’s better to take the 6700K, which, due to the newer architecture, copes with such tasks almost twice as well and faster.

Pros

Powerful 4 cores and 8 threads It will easily pull out 2-way SLI from 1080, and maybe even cooler cards when they come out.

Cons

The temperature is like it is on the edge of hell, even in stock it sometimes reaches 70 degrees, not to mention overclocking, where I was able to detect a temperature of 92 degrees at a frequency of 4.7Ghz, which is not good. So if you want to overclock it, then either the top tower, or a good dropsy.
