Pros:
You can't really beat $110 (plus currently 10$ off if you pair it with a Gigabyte Am3+ motherboard). The other new AMD processors may have more cores, but the truth is, most applications currently used at home don't take advantage of the full potential of Quad core processors, let alone the 6 and 8 core processors. To me, the added cost of buying those processors (or even any of the Intel processors) just isn't worth it right now. This processor is by far the best bang for your money (for now at least) and if you are building a new computer or replacing an older one, then I would recommend this processor.
Cons:
This processor doesn't really perform all that much better that any of the Phenom II processors. If you currently have one of those processors, I would not recommend upgrading to this (or any of the other new Bulldozer processors). What little difference there is, would not be worth the cost. I would wait for the next processors to come out (I think I am hearing April for those, but I'm not sure).
I am giving this one a 5 star rating because it delivers exactly what it advertises, a solid quad core processor at an exceptional price. There are better processors available, but you will also have to pay a lot more for them.
