Is Intel core i3 7100T i.e. Power Optimized Lifestyle version of i3 7100 good enough?

[nana99]

I am buying a new tower pc from HP. But in my place HP desktop computer only have i3 7100T whereas I wanted normal i3 7100. I know the Power Optimized Lifestyle version is low on power. I only do light computing (MS office, internet surfing etc.).
Will 7100T be enough for me? Does anybody have it? Can I buy i3 7100T or will it cause any problem such as slow speed? Please help ASAP.

It still has a power budget 2-3 times that of most laptops, so I wouldn’t worry.

With Intel’s focus on mobile the T’s get a big %age of the overall top processor performance these days.

7100T is only 500mhz slower and only 16W less power than the 7100.

I doubt you can tell the difference in general light duty work.
