Hi all,
Are there any motherboards out there that have a mobile low-power Intel Core i3 CPU on it? Something with a Core i3-3227U for example? I'm really interested in the low TDP of 17W, as compared to a desktop low-power Core i3-3220T with 35W TDP for example. Seems to be a significant price difference between the mobile and desktop versions however.
Or alternatively, is there anything available from AMD which is in a similar performance range and TDP?
Finally, in reality, with the computer probably idling most of the time, is there really a noticable difference in power consumption and heat between the 35W desktop and 17W mobile low power versions?
