Look for an N150. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/241636/intel-processor-n150-6m-cache-up-to-3-60-ghz/specifications.html Joel has one of those, running Win11. And what is particularly lucky for the Intel Corporation, is that processor can use DDR4 or DDR5. It doesn't have a "base frequency", only a "turbo", and when it hits 6 watts, it is "going as fast as it can go". If all cores are flat out, it might only make somewhere between 1GHz and 2GHz (thermal/power limit). But if the OS is particularly idle (Win11 isn't always good at that), then it can hit 3.6GHz. so when Thunderbird says "Assembling", it would be running at 3.6GHz on one core. If it was converting a movie from AVI to MKV, then the job is going to take a while on the four cores, as now the 6 watts is the limit. Each core says it is at 100%, but maybe only at 1.5GHz or so. If it's a hot day, maybe 1.4GHz. And so on. With closed loop control, the CPU frequency is a variable. Other processors also work this way, the difference being that the "all cores" speed is usually faster. I have just one processor that can make 5.0GHz (on its "preferred" core), and a movie conversion, it might run at 4.4GHz or so (and 70C). And then its idle power is a lot higher and that would be bucks on the power bill. Paul
