Fantastic for a very specific use case.
Low power consumption, great multitasking capability. This cpu is design to produce a low heat output, which means it can be cooled using passive cooling options, without the need of an expensive and intricate active cooling system. The low TDP also means it runs very quiet even under full load.
This cpu is awesome for a very specific segment of users. If you are running fluid simulations, do molecular modeling work or if you do CPU-based 3D rendering on a budget, then you will be quite happy with a pair of these processors running in parallel.
Of course this is not a good option for gaming at all or for any other use other than what I mentioned above really. Also, I would recommend at least 64GB of RAM to be used per CPU in order to keep it responsive for single core tasks.
Over all I love this CPU for 3D rendering. It is fast, quiet and cheap.
