People still buy intel CPUs? I think my last Intel CPU was the P3 I got for $100 when I worked at CompUSA in 1999-2000.
They've picked themselves quite a bit since last year and are actually very competitive on laptops. They've still got ways to go for desktop but the changes they've made since are promising.
Their low power chips are good for sub 200 dollar mini pcs.
Yep, those are the only ones I've bought since roughly 1999.
They are competitive, especially given motherboard prices. I used it for my wife as someone agnostic to it.
