I went from the i7 920 to this X5670 and the performance difference is night and day. I went from a Cinebench R15 score of 418 to 673cb for the CPU and from 66 to 78fps for the OpenGL test. Once overclocked the scores jumped to 920cb and 103fps respectively. This is running with a Asus Strix GTX 1070. Game performance and workstation performance has improved significantly, especially with CPU intensive programs/games. I'm running it @4Ghz (22x multi, 1.34vcore, 182fsb, 1.129v qpi) on an Asus P6T Deluxe v1 with the latest bios (make sure to install the latest bios before installing the X5670). Rock solid with a Corsair H80 at minimum fan setting with idle temps of 40 degrees and load of 69 degrees. There's still room for tweaking, but I'm happy with 4Ghz and don't want to add any extra voltage/heat/wattage. All in all, if you have a quality 1366 motherboard and don't want to fully upgrade yet or spend a lot of money, then this is your ticket out. Once overclocked it will keep up with current cpus and for $60 you can't beat the performance/value.Read full review

Wanted to do cheap upgrade for a Dell T7500 home lab server and the X5670 works perfect. Upgraded from E5645 to x5670 and I can tell a bit of improvement on performance. I'm running VMs so needed the extra CPU power. Install was easy and stays pretty cool. Was worried about higher wattage usage and heat output, but seems to stay cooler than older model. Just installed so time will tell on reliability, but Intel Xeon prods never have let me down. Granted they are older CPUs, but they still outperform some of the newer CPUs and a whole lot cheaper.

I now have a 24 thread server running unraid. These processors have drastically improved the power of my z800. They went in easy, and were recognized by the system no problem.Unraid sees all 24 threads and runs amazingly well now. Running unraid? 89.99 lifetime. Adding drives? 116 each for 4tb drives. Going from 8 threads to 24? Priceless.

And an easy 25-35% performance boost over the first generation i7 920 CPU it replaced. Will be more if and when I get it stably overclocked. I haven't yet, but that's not the chip's fault, more mine as I'm not sure how to best set everything. Many report stable 4.1 Ghz overclock speeds.

The 2.93GHz 6-core CPU provided a significant performance upgrade for my aging 2010 Mac Pro. The new CPU replaced a 2.8GHz 4-core processor and was relatively easy to install with the help of a YouTube movie.
