It's the best performer for the old, old Socket H1/LGA 1156, and it's useful for turning an old SFF (let's say, like an HP Compaq Elite 8100), into a gaming system (if you're insane enough), or into a little server useful for small things like Minecraft! It's a great buy if you want to modernize a LGA 1156 system since it's around $15 today. Just remember it doesn't have integrated graphics. [Dec '19 Raceplays]
