Dell, HP, Gateway, etc don't buy retail boards, they design and have OEM's build them for them, and as well quoted above they cut specs and/or quality to the bone.

At least according to this roadmap, these CPU's are the bottom tier mainstream desktop chip. I don't know about other companies, but that is what our IT department specs out (they used to do the Value tier CPU, but burned by poor CPU performance, not IGP).


Sure I might be wrong, but I think these are exact going after coporate office, home office and basic internet desktops, where graphic performance (outside of displaying the screen) won't make any difference at all.
