Fast, even by today’s standards
I bought two of these to revive a couple of 2006 era Dell Desktop machines. With 2 Intel Sata2 SSDs in RAID 1, 8 gigs of pc2-6400 ram, and a Dell GTX 1050ti gpu, these near 15 year old computers perform their duties with an amazing quickness. Because of the massive, stock, heat pipe cooler and fan, they are dead silent, even under a load. Less than 20 seconds on a restart, desktop-to-desktop. In addition, I’m streaming 3840x2160@30 without a single hiccup. None of this would be possible if not for the blazingly fast cpu. Reviving old hardware is fun, and good for the environment. I’ll be tinkering with Throttlestop to try an over clock.
Long story short, these once very expensive, unlocked Intel CPUs have aged well. They can be a bit expensive (I paid less than $50 each), but are worth the cost for those wanting a retro rocket.
YMMV
