Review on Powerful Intel I5-2310 Quad 2.80GHZ 6M Turbo Processor - BX80623I52310 by Wei Shin Yin ᠌

Some argue that this percent is energy efficient, it heats up a little - they say that's why the price is higher than usual. I cite my experiment as an example: on a regular Core i5-2320 3.0 GHz 95 watts (in idle mode it can also reduce the multiplier to 16), I installed Intel's proprietary cooler that comes with a 65 watt processor, reduced the frequency to 2.5 GHz in bios and loaded it with a test utility up to 100 percent within 15 minutes. The temperature of the processor with such a weak cooler did not rise above 66-68 degrees! Apparently, Intel takes an ordinary stone, artificially lowers the frequency and the result: an expensive, energy-saving processor. If you want to overclock - take the usual percentage of this platform, if you want a weak heating - reduce the multiplier on the usual one! This will be 400-700 cheaper than buying an Intel Core i5-2400S. IMHO.
