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.
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.
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.
