    Quick question about the idea of upgrading from a T5750 to an 8100 or 8300 cpu. I know it won't be too much faster for general use, but with the idea of lower heat, how much of a difference would it make? I'm currently undervolting my 5750 and it is hovering in the mid 60s at full bore, but how much cooler could it get by upgrading do one of those other processors?

    They all have the same TDP 35w. So I don't see lower temps as a practical outcome of change?

    Did the lower end T series not have TDP 25w?

    If undervolted properly, the T8100/T8300 will give you lower temps.
