beers Moderator Staff member Oct 29, 2016 #2 It's pretty easy to compare: http://ark.intel.com/products/88187/Intel-Core-i5-6400T-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-2_80-GHz http://ark.intel.com/products/88185/Intel-Core-i5-6400-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_30-GHz The 'T' processor is designed for lower power consumption and operates at lower (slower) clock speeds. For desktop use you'd be better off with the standard non-T 6400.
