Not much info available on its exact quality. It's a high-end processor with 8 cores, but specifics depend on the model and condition.

It's a solid CPU, though it's quite old. The motherboards tend to be a bit expensive. Essentially it's a 4790k with double the cores. It was a great CPU when it launched, and if you manage to find an X99 board at a lower price, it could become a solid budget workstation option.
