At ~45€ from eBay, this chip makes the most sense if you're upgrading your Haswell build. Everything else costs way more just because it has an iGPU or can be overclocked, but a purchase of a 150€ 4770K really goes against all reason with parts like the 150€ 12100. I upgraded to this from my old i5-4440, which I have owned since launch. The extra frequency (locked through BIOS at 3.6 GHz compared to the i5's 3.2 GHz) and extra threads make a visible difference even in applications where you wouldn't expect it, but mostly in applications that make use of one or the other. Thanks to this server chip, my 2013 Haswell build lives slightly longer yet, albeit with only a few parts still original to the first build all these years ago.
