Reviewers Didn't Like
- Aside from the multiplier, no other change in features from the Core i7-870.Intel Core i5-655K
- Functionally identical to Core i5-650
- System builders may not want to pay $40 more for overclocking privileges with only a dual-core chip
- Only a very tiny niche can see value in this processor
- Expensive
