I went over to the Anandtech Bench and compared my current CPU (see sig) to a Llano A8 and they came out neck to neck. What? Am I reading that correctly? I used the Athlon II 635 for the comparison. Mine is a 435 but with a core unlocked giving me a 635 equivalent.
I use my PC for gaming and office productivity, while my wife run biological models and GIS (Graphical Information Systems) like ArcGIS on it as part of her PhD and it handles it all without a sweat. If the Llano is as good as a 635, that really is more than most (non-enthusiast) users require for a home PC.
I really expected Llano to be a slow CPU, but if its the same speed as mine then its not slow. Its "fast enough".
