Prós: This is a great cpu to get for an htpc build or home server build on a budget. I already had an lga1155 board and didn't want noise, heat or a power hog. I did however want it to run my esxi server with all my vms and this cpu does not disappoint. I have a fedora vm hosting http/plex media server...
Cons: 0 cons. I'm actually glad Intel made low tdp cpus for this socket. Saved me from upgrading a board.
Resumo: If your building a system from scratch go with Intel Core i3-4130T Haswell 2.9GHz LGA 1150 35W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4400
Prós: Generates very little heat if any......... Fan speed set to 1 in bios. awesome Processor Intel Core i3-2120T Sandy Bridge 2.6GHz LGA 1155 35W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000..Windows experience index scores "6.9".. if your building a ITX system a must have for 1155 socket.........
Prós: the little devil works great and is simple to cool with large passive heat sink. mine is in a lian li mini-itx case and i sit the monitor on top of it. it doesn't make a sound and it's in the bedroom running 24x7. highly recommend it
Cons: none at all. no regrets so i bought a second one for another machine i built for my daughter in college.
Cool and Quiet, with low wattage and high efficiency

Resumo: Extremely low powered processor. I installed this in a media server I built where I had 12 SATA drives (5400RPM) and Acreca ARC-1231ML RAID adapter and this this barely made a sound. Things were cool and quiet plus at idle, 35 watts total. That's pretty amazing.
Resumo: Hard to beat for an entry-level or media PC.
Prós: Low price, low power consumption, low heat. Handles 1080p+ video streaming and any other basic computing tasks with ease. Much to my surprise, it could actually handle XCOM: Enemy Unknown at ~20 fps without a separate video card, so some gaming wouldn't be out of the question either, just so long...
Cons: None, just so long as you have realistic expectations of the performance you're going to get at this price.
Resumo: Straight out of the box this cpu is more than enough for my home tv pc build. The stock 2.6 GHz can handle anything, in the way of streaming, that I can throw at it. I love the Intel cpus, they are fast and dependable.
Great for HTPC, basic workstation, or a simple 24/7 server

Resumo: This i3 has worked great on a mini-ITX 24/7 workstation/server I have running at home. With the stock heatsink, it will just barely fit inside my Habey EMC 600BL case.
