Where to buy low power Intel CPUs from (i.e. ones which have S or T at the end) ?

[ahmadka]

Hi guys .. So I want to buy a low power CPU for my HTPC, but don't know where to buy them from in Pakistan .. I quick Google search hasn't revealed anything, but maybe some folks here know where they are available .. Low power CPUs have model numbers with an 'S' or 'T' at the end .. So I'm specifically looking for any of the following Core i5 processors, all of which are low power ones:

i5-4460T
i5-4570T
i5-4590T
i5-4670T
i5-4690T
i5-4430S
i5-4460S
i5-4570S
i5-4590S
i5-4670S
i5-4690S

I can import, but that will take some time all also will be risky as these processors are expensive, so would prefer to buy locally ...

How much difference does a low power processor make? Why not get a normal processor?

A normal i5 has a TDP of 84W, while the S and T versions have lower 35W and 50 ~60W. For a home theater PC, this can be a big difference as higher TDP means more cooling needs, which raises the audio dBs, which are not good for a home theater room ..

If you cannot find here locally I am sure you yourself can order it online
