Out with the old.
Intel advised its partners in a product change notification that it is phasing out six entry level processor models. According to the PCN, the following chips are affected by the refresh and received a final ship date of April 16, 2013:
- Celeron P4600 (2.0 GHz)
- Core i3-370M (2.4 GHz0
- Core i3-390M (2.6 GHz)
- Pentium P6100 (2.0 GHz)
- Pentium P6200 (2.13 GHz)
- Pentium P6300 (2.2 GHz)
Customers will be able to place their orders until October 16 of this year. Orders placed after this date cannot be canceled. As usual, Intel justified the cancellation with a "shift of market demand".
What's in that list is considered overkill compared to ATOM.
Just for shts and giggles I tried to compile Gentoo on an Atom netbook, I feel your pain x 100.

They really were badly introduced to the market. I remember signing up for an "affordable" dedicated server to play around with that had an Atom processor a couple years back. I wanted to shoot myself with how badly it performed doing simple tasks.

How long did it take you to compile openoffice/libreoffice? LOL
Same, i got my q9300 past the 420mhz FSB wall....... runs stable at ~3.2Ghz and still rips through anything i throw at it.
Yea, I put a Q9300 in my PC and I run it stock, it's really fast. For regular use, it seems to run just as good as an i5, and I build a lot of i5 systems.
Im still rocking a Q6600 and dont see any need to upgrade just yet..
Not meaning to tell you your business but you need to overclock her until she moans...and if she's moaning yet you're not overclocking her high enough. I'm just say'n.
