What's the "t" for?

Thanks.

Am sure the ''T" stand for Low power.

One is 35W

One is 51W

Looks like power consumption. The T is only 35w vs 47 for the regular.

'Power optimised lifestyle', of course it is Intel, what else would T stand for

Haha, I was thinking it'd be Turbo or something!

Thanks a lot.

According to the specs on that page... the "T" variant has a lower CPU clock speed, but higher GPU clock speed.

So the "T" will be slightly better for GPU tasks, the non-T slightly better for CPU tasks.

Thanks a lot.

it does mean that in AMD land. 1090T, 960T etc.

That's not right, the 6300 is 3.8Ghz and max GPU speed of 1.1ghz @ 55W

the 6300T is 3.3Ghz and max GPU speed of 0.95Ghz @ 35W

So the T is a low-power underclocked version. For sacrificing 15% clock speed you get a 30% reduction in power use.

It was when I posted that - appears as though the website has been updated
