Hello, and thanks for reading this message. I want to know what CPU is more worth it. Here's the case: I got to these CPUs because of their power efficiency. I got shocked when I saw the i3-4340 CPU because it's 3.6GHz with only 54 TDP!!! That is an excelent energy-efficent CPU comparing to the one in the living room that is 2.8GHz (made in 2009) and it's 65 TDP. Apart from that, the built-in GPU Intel® HD Graphics 4600 is much more better than the 2 computers of my house, so i'm sticking with the built-in GPU, no dedicated GPU. Then later I got more shocked when I saw the i3-4330T, 3.0GHz for 35 TDP!!! So it's almost half as the TDP of the computer in the living room (by the way, it's AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 240). The reason they compite each other is because they have the same GPU (some minimal differences in starting MHz, which don't bother me), and one TDP is less than another. They are with the same socket, etc. The only (as far as I know) difference between them is the CPU GHz and TDP (there is in starting MHz in GPU but their max is same with Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency).
The questions are: Does the .6 GHz difference of the i3-4340 is a lot or noticeable better over the i3-4330T? Does the 19 TDP difference in the i3-4330T is noticeable in electric bill? Yes, the time using the computer counts, so I am saying how much I use. To be honest, I haven't got note of the hours a day I use the computer, because it's random. Let me tell you that it could be like 3-6 hours in monday to friday days, depending if I have things in school or not. Sometimes I talk with a friend so it might be different depending on what happens, that's why it's random and I'm not in a fixed schedule. In the weekdays or holidays it's like about 10-13 hours when I don't have anything to do, also it depends if I have school things or what happens, like talk to friend. Average lets say it's 2-4 hours in monday to friday, and 5-13 (yep, undecided lol) hours in weekdays or holidays.
Now, here is another question: Does the .6 GHz is worth it by 19 more TDP? What I usually do is search the web, play flash games, use recording software (not so much lately), play some games (but not latest), so don't need more than dual-core CPU (and I will not because Quad-core and above are not so good for power consumption efficiency, as far as I know), as also this GPU is enough for now.
I want to get energy efficent CPU but I don't know if 19 more TDP will be a lot for .6 GHz difference. Thanks in advance!
Lastly, and optional to the topic: When is the 4330T and 4340 going to Box version (and to amazon)? There is OEM version but I am not experimented with getting other parts so I want box version.
