I like everything, the quality is good, the price is reasonable.

Although the nominal performance is the same as that of the Intel Core i5 - 2550K, the overclocking potential is significantly lower. It would appear that technologies operating at 22nm should release less heat than those operating at 32nm, but the existence of a video core makes heat dissipation much more difficult. As a consequence of this, even if the acceleration to 4.4 GHz is the identical, the new 2550k is almost 10 degrees hotter than the 3570k. If you do not require a video core, you should not get it for overclocking because I do not advocate it. I really hope that Intel will release a 22mm processor that does not have a video core when they finally come to their senses.

Pros

The new Intel Core i5 - 2670K has a better video core than the previous Intel Core i5 - 2550K, however the advantages have been exhausted.

Cons

The fact that the video core takes up about half of the surface area of the stone makes it exceedingly challenging to transmit heat between the two. There is a straightforward relationship between the surface area of contact between the crystal and the cooler and the amount of heat that is transferred.
