I'm interested in Sandy Bridge, but I'm more interested in Zacate as it's benching faster than a i5m chip. It's giving me hope that Llano will be nice hardware.

I still think that at least for next year, most of us are still going to want discrete cards, so what I'm shopping for is for HTPCs, which sandy bridge may be a little bit overkill for. if Zacate can handle 1080i without the need for a discrete card I will be overjoyed. I have to ignore all the atoms or most onboard solutions nowadays because no one cares about 1080i.

I'm extremely interested in Zacate as well. I think Zacate is going to takeover the mobile and HTPC dept and may become the standard for cheap, low power, low profile desktops as well. Nothing can compete with it at 18W.

The 300As had a near guaranteed overclock to 450. The 366s had a higher multiplier which meant it had to go to 550 if you wanted a FSB of 100mhz, but the success rate of getting those to 550 were much lower than getting the 300s to 450.

I had a 366 which didn't hit 550 so I had to settle for 450 at some funky FSB :(

I hit 550 :). The last great celeron processor. The only low budget processor that out performed the flagship CPU due to on-dye level 1 cache. The prelude to the coppermine.

AMD can't make decent mobile chips to save their lives, that's why Intel dominates.

The new fusion mobile chip is a monster. Read the most recent articles regarding Zacate or Brazos.
