This page on Intel's website says that the "T" suffix represents a "Power-optimized lifestyle", which, as far as I understand, means better power efficiency, but doesn't say anything about the "E" suffix (except for the older Core 2 processors, where it seems to have a similar meaning to the current generation "T").

The i3-6100T and i3-6100E also exist, both with a TDP of 35W, just like the i3-6100TE. The main differences i can see while comparing them on Intel's website are that the two processors with the "E" have:

  • a lower clock speed (2.7 GHz vs 3.2 GHz)
  • something called "Embedded options available" (maybe this is it?)

So does anybody know what the "E" means?

    @Xavierjazz I don't think it's spam. – DavidPostill Dec 13 '16 at 22:14
  • It doesn't mean anything. It's just a model number. If Intel indicates the `T` means "Power-optimized lifestyle" and `E` is connected to "Embedded" CPUs then a `TE` would be an `embeddded power optimized` product. – Ramhound Dec 13 '16 at 22:14
  • [Exact;y](http://ark.intel.com/compare/90734,90611,88181) the case ^^. doesn't matter what the `E` stands for literally, a `TE` product, is the combined product line of both `T` and `E`. Contact a Intel sales associate if you really want to know because its likely only they would know. – Ramhound Dec 13 '16 at 22:18

    @Xavierjazz Why does it look like like spam? – donut Dec 13 '16 at 22:20

    @donut - In the past users, have submitted similar type questions, in an attempt to submit spam as an answer to those questions they submitted. – Ramhound Dec 13 '16 at 22:22

    @Xavierjazz This question is thorough and worded way too well to tingle my spammy-senses. – MonkeyZeus Dec 14 '16 at 16:32

What is the meaning of the Intel processor E suffix?

The E suffix is one you’ll see on a few products, but as a consumer you don’t particularly need to worry about. The letter stands for embedded, with means the processor can be utilized in embedded systems.
