CPU INTEL 14100T

I've been looking into the Intel Core i3-14100T CPU and was wondering what its TDP is. Anyone have any information on this?

The Ryzen 5 3600 has a base TDP of 95 watts and a max turbo TDP of 142 watts. That's significantly higher than the Core i3-14100T, so if you're looking to build a system with minimal power consumption or are concerned about cooling, the Core i3-14100T might be the better choice.

Hi @Sustainarchist, the Core i3-14100T has a base TDP (PL1) of 35 watts and a max turbo TDP (PL2) of 69 watts. This means that at its E-core base frequency of 0 GHz and P-core base frequency of 2.70 GHz, it will consume a maximum of 35 watts. When it reaches the 4.40 GHz max turbo frequency, it can use up to 69 watts. The TechReviewer article What Is the TDP of the Core i3-14100T CPU? provides more details on this processor's TDP.

Thanks for the info, @WarFoxLT. That's good to know when selecting a cooler and power supply for my build.

Yeah, I appreciate it. So, based on these numbers, would you recommend any specific coolers or PSUs that would work well with this CPU?

The Core i3-14100T doesn't require a very powerful cooler due to its relatively low TDP. An air cooler like the Noctua NH-U9S should be sufficient for maintaining optimal temperatures. As for power supplies, I'd recommend something in the 450W to 650W range, which would easily handle the CPU's max TDP and accommodate other components.

@EskeetmoJoe makes a good point about the cooler. The Noctua NH-U9S is indeed a solid choice for maintaining low temperatures with the Core i3-14100T. For power supplies, I also agree that something in the 450W to 650W range should be more than adequate.

I'm building a PC and I've narrowed down my CPU choices to either the Core i3-14100T or the Ryzen 5 3600. Can anyone compare these two CPUs based on their TDPs?
