Intel Core i3 2100T OEM $79.95+$4.46 shipped

Folks, this really isn't worth the premium IMO. Intel simply took a regular i3 and reduced the clock multiplier, lowered the Vcore, and called it a "T" series CPU. And then pricing it higher than the non-T CPU. Silent PC community has been doing this with regular CPUs for years to keep their power consumption and fan noise down. I don't know if Intel cherry-picked silicon dies, but even if they did, it would only have marginally lowered Vcore and saved a few watts at best.

Celeron G540 is using the same architecture as the i3. As much as Intel tried to castrate the cache and feature sets on the Celeron, it still performs within 10%+/- of identically clocked i3, at half the price. Aside from Quick Sync, if you find some apps that run ok on the i3 but not the Celeron due to the 10% difference, you are still not giving yourself comfortable headroom on the i3. You would need to get something faster like the G850, for the same price.

Anyway you look at it (except for Quick Sync), this is still not a good deal at this price point. This reminds me of Monster Cables. Even when there is a 50% off sale, it is still not considered a good deal.
