Most important of all, this processor will be priced around $100~133.

I'll take a (quad) 1.8 Stars over a (dual) 2.2 Core any day of the week for my tasks. Although you'd get better frames in games on the Pentium.
ReplyDeleteI love to encode video with DivX, so this can be an upgrade for me.
Although I would have gotten a Core 2 Duo long ago, my board manufacturer never released some sort of bios update to support Core.
