Performance Comparison

Key Differences Summary

1. Clock Speeds: 9100F > 9100TE > 9100HL

2. Power Usage: 9100HL (25W) < 9100TE (35W) < 9100F (65W)

3. Graphics: Only 9100F lacks integrated graphics

4. Market: Desktop (F) vs. Industrial (TE) vs. Embedded (HL)

Purchase Recommendation

• For most users: The 9100F offers the best performance if you have a discrete GPU

• For industrial applications: The 9100TE provides the right balance of performance and efficiency

• For space/power-constrained environments: The 9100HL is the obvious choice
