These T-cpus are designed for lower power consumption and often come with pre-assembled Dell or Lenovo motherboards. Whether you can use them on a mini-ITX board as regular non-K CPUs depends on the specific model and compatibility with your system. Since you're planning a 24/7 server setup like Plex or Jellyfin, it's important to verify that the CPU matches your motherboard's socket type and BIOS support. Also, keep in mind that Dell tends to lock RAM, while Lenovo may have more flexibility. If unsure, double-check compatibility before purchasing.
Recent CPUs are uncertain, but Skylake and previous generations worked well. What sets them apart from non-K chips is their reduced base frequency and turbo speeds. Otherwise they behave like standard processors.
Yes, you can utilize Throttlestop to replicate the behavior of nonK without modifying it directly.
The core timing details are confirmed by Intel, though you may not receive identical results when restricting power to a non-K processor.
