So far I can only think of two reasons: 1. S and T models for customers that don't know how to underclock or don't have motherboards with such abilities. 2. Perhaps S and T models don't run well at high frequencies because of fabrication flaws, so they might still run stable at…

Hello,

What is the cause of the watt difference for Intel's Haswell Core I5 processor models ?

This link shows some different models:

I suspect the watt difference is because some models are running on different clock speeds ?

Some further questions:

Can the top model (84 watts) be under clocked ? At how many different speeds can it run ?

Also if the top model can be under clocked and there is further little difference between the models, than the lower watt models don't make any sense ?

Bye, Skybuck.
