Hard-to-find low TDP CPU
I have used QuietPC several times in the past and their service is excellent. It’s particularly great that they offer these “T” variant processors with a TDP of 35W. It’s pretty much impossible to find these anywhere else, but it’s extremely useful to have a cool processor if you want to build a system with as few fans as possible. The difference in performance is very slight, so the question is why are Intel mainly selling processors that use twice the electricity in these environmentally aware times?
One point I should note is that, as stated on the website, these are OEM processors, but they are also what are known as “tray” processors, i.e. they are supplied to OEMs in a tray containing many processors. Therefore don’t be surprised to receive your processor in an anonymous little box inside a jiffy bag with the number written on it in marker pen. This is the only way you will be able to obtain one of these processors, which are not available in a retail version.
