These features translate into real life features. A more powerful cpu, everything is speeder. A quieter system as the new (smaller) fan is very quiet. Less heat, so the entire system runs cooler. A cooler system means a system that will last longer on the whole. Lower power bills and better for the environment as this is a brilliant performance per watt processor

In short, a great processor and at this low price it is worth upgrading now

(Check your motherboard is compatible first though)
