Waiting for it, and it's finally here, results un-appealing

Interesting , considering the price , it would do very well for budget pc's , where the most people do is play movies and surf the net.

The review says the motherboard and processor come for under USD 100 , meaning one could build a CPU for pretty cheap.

Its best suited for mobile platform only... not for desktops....

Hmm... this is supposed to be about as powerful as a similarly clocked Pentium D CPU.
That makes this very intresting indeed.

Look, VIA's nano plays CRYSIS just fine:

Not bad.. These guys want to kick AMD from the low end market too

Hmm, Via's nano to get a performance boost, as the mobo's they sent as samples for testing had faults which reduced the processors power greatly, so hopes still remain.
