Intel, you truly are my greatest ally!
It uses much less watts retard
>>54682050
It's still 45W.
>>54682050
This, fugg my i7 3630 qm use 1337 watt with 56 whr battery. Only last like 2-3 hour compare the i5 3****m model which last like 5-6 hour..

Its a company computer. They don't want their data to shit out on old stuff with no warranty. If data loss occurs or some shit happens, warranty can replace those.

The newer model has a vastly superior integrated GPU and, as someone mentioned, its 14 nm process allows for a lower power consumption and lower temperatures thus reducing thermal throttling. Hint: you're not really supposed to be comparing the max load TDPs when thinking about power consumption.
>>54682082
TDP is not watts.
Skylake has bigger TDP than Hsawell but it uses less power
>>54681930
How's the performance per watt?
>>54681930
>Skylake
I thought skylakes were cooler/lower temp
>>54681930
Skylake is not a power hungry,high temp mess, that's all.
>>54682165
This, also higher maximum RAM capacity support, and its bandwidth as well as more cache.
>>54681930
Sauce on that site?
>>54681930
Well dont replace stuff that is only a few years old you fuck
Upgrade after 5-10 years when it is actually a huge leap
fucking consumerists
I realize it is your company doing this but
fuck
