x processors and s processors

[annoor123]

what is the difference between the x processor and the s processor I was looking at this graph thing and i don't quiet understand the difference between them it seems very confusing

i got this from this article

sorry if its in the wrong section of the forum

-X/K are labels for enthusiast cpus unlocked for overclocking.

-S is for 'power saving' cpus. (Intel says it's for 'performance' but not really. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html )

 

This belongs in the CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory section. I'm moving the thread.

Pretty much this. S's are also cooler,so keep that in mind.

so which category would the 4790k or the 4770k go on to

can u give me some other example?

and run at a lower TDP as well.

nvm, wrong train of thought.

It was the parentheses.

Fixed it.

Reread what I posted.

The lower TDP is why they run cooler. If you clocked a K or X CPU down to an "S" specs they should run the same. But that'd be a hindrance to the K CPU anyway.

4790K and 4770K are essentially "budget extreme CPUs"... so to speak.
