[duploxxx]

Loses most of the time to a 1.5GHz K8 based dual-core:

It's around 67% of a 1MB L2 version of Conroe at 1.6 GHz:

based on SYSmark sure, I use that all the time to decide what will be my next build

Actually it does, especial the E-series. Because you don't only find them in netbooks, but also in entrey 15" books and there it competetns pricewise against i3s.

And looking at the current prices the E-series is not attractive at all for that segmen, a i3-350m+Geforce 310M for 450€ or a E-350 for 399€.

E-based books need to be at least 100€ cheaper then compareable i3+dedicated gpu to stand a chacne in that market.

EOL platfrom against new, lets see how the new SB when they arrive will be positioned.... Its actually a miracle that you didn't compare it to a Pentium
