Greg, Thanks. Amazed how complicated/segregated these cpus are.
Spending Saturday at the Intel site checking out: i5-3570, i5-3550, i5-3470, i5-3450, i5-3300 Thoughts? Spent 2 hours looking at Asus and Intel Z77 m/b's. So confusing! How does anyone remember all these specs and features???? Duncan On 10/26/2012 19:41, Greg Sevart wrote:
K - Unlocked, allows for easy overclocking. S - Low power - Usually a lower clock speed and/or binned at the factory to run the rated speed at a lower voltage, reducing power draw T - Lower power - Same as above, just, err....more P - Does not include any on-chip graphics, requiring you to use a third party video card (all other i5's have a GPU built in if you wish to use it - you don't have to, but it's available) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of DSinc Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 6:18 PM To: HWG Subject: [H] Ivy Bridge Processor? Can anyone define whatthe 'K', 'P', or 'S' in the Intel I5 processor m/n indicates? I am getting ready to buy 3 new Core I5 cpus. Should I be living on the Intel website now? Thanks, Duncan
