I have this chip on my old Dell XPS 13 and not only is it slow, but it also turns into an absolute inferno under even a 600 MHz load browzing the web.

the processor is very snappy for day to day use and for doing any business work, (eg, Word typing, Excel, listening to music on you tube or spotify) it is terrible at games though, you can pick up these laptops very cheap now though so i do recommend for just basic stuff.
