The Processor of choice for Alienware’s Entry level Alpha Series desktops. This Processor holds the reputation of outperforming AMD’s six Core CPUs in single thread gaming on most games. I would have to say the only down fall to this great CPU is that it’s only a Dual Core processor.

Pros:

Great CPU performance
Doesn’t use that much power
Integrated Graphics Card

Cons:

Only Dual Core with hyper threading
No Overclocking

Perfect For:

Family PC
Office PC
Internet use
Streaming
Watching Movies
Listening to Music
Budget Gaming PC
Budget Server

Not good for:

Workstation
High Performance Gaming PC
