    But it was i5, not i7 as in here

      And it was the T model as well - for low power consumption but also lower performance.

      8th gen are great, esp if you need official Windows 11 compatibility, but this is a more capable CPU for almost all tasks.

      Also, having ordered from the OP’s previous deal, I can confirm that both units I purchased came in impeccable condition.

        The i5/i7 distinction is irrelevant here because 8th gen i5s have more cores than 7th gen (and older) i7s. Intel was very stubborn about adding more than 4 cores to their top end models for the longest of times, rise of ryzen eventually forced their hands.

        Despite being a T model, single core performance is only about 10% slower while multicore performance is only 5% slower since it has more cores to work with. At half the energy consumption, better transcoding (for plex/jellfin users) and out of the box w11 compatibility, it's a no brainer unless you need the other things like ports/extra storage slots.

          @JerraJones: Horses for courses, but given the very limited percentage of purchasers who’d be looking at it for transcoding capabilities - one of the very few usages for which the newer i5 may be superior - the fact that the older i7 is more powerful for almost all other tasks does indeed make it a no-brainer, its power consumption can also be reduced to a comparable level to the T models in BIOS, if that’s what is being sought.

            @UncleRico: 5% slower for half the power bill for something that's only going to be used just for casual browsing/office work is a no-brainer, especially with record rises for electricity prices. The 8500t also comes with an m.2 slot (supports nvme).

  Would something like this run age of empires 2 definitive edition with the best settings? I like how small the form factor is, and low price of course.

  My N40L psu died last week… how many HDDs can I stick inside this?

  Tossing up between a ground up micro atx build, replacing the PSU, or retrofitting one of these old workstations.
