Hey, they're sorry, they make Atom processors now. I heard they're slower
than the Pentium III at 1.4 GHz, but it's eco-friendly, green and all that.
It matters that it's fashionable to follow trends, not that performance is
down the gutter.
That's why I kinda like honest single cores from the past. Even the P4,
although I admit that they probably had some serious design flaws because
they heated up so badly and needed monster cooling devices.
But then again, so did AMD's Socket A processors.
