Intel Core i5-2500K Processor Review Roundup:

    " Not only did our Intel Core i5-2500K deliver impeccable performance across the board for the money you pay for, it is also much more power efficient than comparable processors in the past, and runs much cooler thanks to its die shrink and other miscellaneous improvements. Did I say it goes for just over $200? And that's before you start overclocking it." "
