Decent dual-core CPU found in my old Dell laptop. Windows 10 feels a little sluggish but it's useable with an SSD. Single core isn't very mind blowing, and multicore performance = ~1200 on Cinebench R23. [May '21 Driftking60]

Great for things like chromebooks or mobile devices, bad for desktops and laptops. This was my CPU for more than two years on a crappy Asus x551ma laptop and oh boy...once I upgraded it was a very very different experience. [Feb '20 Drakorvich]
