I am looking to finally upgrade my 2500k and am a bit more energy conscious so have been looking into the T model CPUs (35W TDP). I have one of these in my home lab and am happy with it, however I use my main PC for gaming and it is a more day to day PC so I don't want to notice a slowdown from my 2500K. At the moment my 2500 is running at 4.4Ghz fine, and I know by getting the T I will be losing the overclocking potential. On the other side of the coin is that the i7 has more cores and is a newer model so will this be enough to make up for the shortfall on clock speed? I'm not a hardcore gamer, just play the likes of Diablo 3, Skyrim and other RPGs.
Thanks Guys!
