Tb for storage. Ssd in raid for operating system and games you want to load real fast. Also for large video editors like Vegas pro and cs6

First, I don't think the intel page had the i5 getting that high but my i7 is turbo boosted by hp to get 4.1 I believe, but that 4.6 still isn't going to help you against my beast

Ill screenshot my bios and run a program showing core speed and ill show you. And the i7 isn't used to full potential even in windows 8 right now so your gonna have to wait for an update that unlock its true processing power.

Intel's max on that chip is 3.8 with the turbo frequency. What's getting it so high? and my i7 uses less power.
