It's going to be buggy until they fix a problem with it, but it seems like a promising processor. I think it's similar to the situation with sandybridge, for awhile they had to recall them to fix an error also, but in due time hopefully the situation gets resolved. It looks like that they improved the memory controller this time around, but aside from that you're better off hanging onto your phenom ii 1100t's for awhile if you got em. Performance per core isn't coming in that much higher.
