Highlights
Quality
A good motherboard with a bios that supports power-saving features and lots of fine-tuning variables will get you the best "gas mileage".
Great processor 95w tdp was pretty much the reason for puchasing.
The cpu itself idles at about 38c and under load from a video game, or video render, 40-45c, according to the program speccy.
All of these would cause my fans to run at near-warp speed and my cpu would run hot.
Price
This is an awesome am3+ cpu for the money.
If you are on a budget, amd is the way to go.
Amazon usually carries stock, but with taxes and the occasional backorder, you're looking at around $220, $230 when it's all said and done.
Shipping
Came right on schedule and installed it along with blu-ray rewriter.
It arrived yesterday but i have been sick and bedridden so i just got the chance to test it this morning.
Packaging/appearance
Just unboxed it, removed old fx-4100 and installed new 8370e.
Competitiveness
In addition, star wars battlefront never drops below 60fps and adr1ft runs at a smooth 60fps, both on ultra.
The 8730e is the best chip my motherboard will accept.
For example, i can now run the division at about 10fps average more than i previously did with my fx-6300, so around 50fps on ultra.
The primary reason for acquiring this product was to experiment with building more energy efficient multi-purpose servers.

However my motherboard is limited by a 95w tdp meaning my options for a new processor were limited without purchasing a new motherboard
