Good point! However, this two processors have different architectures so I'm not sure if we can directly compare 1.9 Ghz vs 1.7 ghz. I do have a ssd, probably the best bang for the buck. The thing that might favor the newer, but slightly slower baseline clockwork is the graphics intel 4400 Vs 4000

Thank you! That's what I thought, I wonder what's the threshold on these benchmark numbers for a noticeable difference in real life...

Hi, I'm banging my head between these the 3rd generation i3 3227 gigabyte brix XM 3227 (http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-3227U+%40+1.90GHz&id=1861) vs. BRIX BXi3-4010 with Haswell 1.7ghz.(http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-4010U+%40+1.70GHz&id=2012)...

I'm deciding if to swap this model for the "older" BRIX 3227, which has a third generation i3 core at 1.9 ghz, slightly faster than this new 1.7 haswell. You can get a Brix 3227 as low as 280 in amazon. Not sure if this really represents an upgrade. So bottom line, will this new model be faster...
