Is my CPU "weak"?

What does the T stand for in terms of branding?

It's a low power chip. Not weak though.

Well, how do you define weak? It is by base clock the same chip as a mobile i7.  Yours is clocked at 2.5GHz/3.7GHz vs the 3770 which is 3.4GHz/3.9GHz.

Honestly, you should not be too concerned with bottlenecking or need for upgrade for a while (While being 3+ years from now, unless something unexpected happens in computers between now and then).
