It's been a long time since Intel has made chips in that performance range.

They suck hardcore at rendering anything more complex then a desktop, but they can preform slightly faster than their intel counterparts with simple tasks. Perfect for building a friend a 100$ PC that will only be used for wordprocessing and netsurfing. Really should be running linux though. “1.5GHz VIA C7 CPU (*COUGH*)”
