Tearing a comment apart: Intel hater

[singhh]

Hey guys:

Was browsing around, reading about Intel's 8-core Atom server CPUs, and came across this hilarious comment:

I think he's on to something. WinTel needs to bring back the CHEAP computer.

more importantly CHEAP Atom that is not a Xeon

The original commenter failed to distinguish between normal Atoms, and the server Atoms that were being discussed.

I agree with both of you, but isn't that what CPUs like the i3-4100M is for? Albeit slow as h3ll, it's only $225 MSRP and it's a 4th-gen i3. Not bad, but I agree, Intel could shed some profits and lower some prices.

EDIT: I think the grave mistake that the commenter makes is that he compares the Xeon Atom to the consumer Xeon, which is blasphemous, considering the Xeon will get killed if put in a mobile-oriented situation.
