[...] you do realise both those processors are the same family? Same Socket, Same TDP, same thermal characteristics? http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=50175 http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=49020 n/b I haven't tested either of those CPU's myself to check power usage, but i3 is the better CPU from a performance POV (personally i'd never buy an acer ever again though, had several fail on me recently, but wouldn't recommend anything else either)
any of the new pentiums dont have same level of on demand mhz switching thats on i3/i5... they use more energy when cpu is half used, speedstep isnt as good anymore :P]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15325&post=268170 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 13:00:45 +0100 Reply by Sketch https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15325/page-1/?recent=268237#post=267955 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=off-topic&topic=15325&post=267955 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 20:01:38 +0100 Reply by Tikcus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/off-topic/topic-15325/page-1/?recent=268237#post=267951 Quoted from AnimaL
i3 also will use less power - more time to shop
