Not a good cpu but overall decent, slow page loading but can do tasks and even 3D games run ok, indies and some random games will run ok in the 4400, hl2 maxed out runs at stable 60fps. not a good cpu but not the worse, average.

Would throttle to the lowest clock it could achieve (800 mhz) without a program called ThrottleStop, for no reason. Is faster than a mobile Haswell Pentium or Celeron, though.
